OK, so my mother started this recipe when I was growing up. Again, a reminder, my camera is not with me at the moment, therefore, these pictures were taken with my cell phone camera. (Not the greatest.)
Ingredients:
1 can of Grands biscuits (not flaky)
1 8oz package of cream cheese (softened – I use the neufachtel)
1/4 cup margarine (softened)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
*Let me stop here for one moment to elaborate. Typically, my frozen chicken breasts are pretty large and 3 is enough. However, my husband bought a different brand of frozen chicken breasts and they are quite small. Actually, they are probably more of an appropriate serving size per breast, (the palm of your hand) whereas my normal ones are more like two (the entire size of the hand). So, this time I prepared 6 tiny breasts.*
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (you will basically cook these according to your biscuit package.)
- Start with the shredded chicken. ![]()
- Mix in the cream cheese and margarine, salt and pepper. ![]()
- Set out wax paper and spray it with cooking spray before beginning to work with the biscuits.
- Take the biscuits and split them each into half. ![]()
Your eight biscuits will now be16. (I like to work with four at a time.)
- Flatten, with the palm of your hand, each biscuit. I like to spray my hand with cooking spray when I do this.
The top row has been flattened, and the bottom row is still regular.
- Spoon on a heaping spoonful of the chicken mixture onto one row of the biscuits. You may even do two.
- Carefully cover the top of the chicken mixture with the remaining biscuit, and pinch the sides closed.
- Place on a cookie sheet and bake for whatever the time is on the biscuit package. Typically 13-17 minutes. You want them to be golden brown.
I work on the next set of four while the first set is baking. I guess if I had a dream kitchen with lots of counter space, I could do it all at the same time.
Yummy – we love chicken in a biscuit! If you have left-overs, it’s better to toast them in the toaster over rather than microwave them. The biscuit gets a little toasted rather than mushy. However, being that this makes eight, and I feed five, we never have left-overs of this meal.
