Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (10.5 oz)
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
  • 1 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix shredded chicken, vegetables, cream of chicken soup, cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Prepare Dough: Separate biscuit dough. Flatten each piece into a circle.
  4. Assemble Muffins: Place each flattened biscuit into a muffin cup, pressing up sides.
  5. Fill: Spoon chicken mixture into each biscuit cup.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18–20 minutes until biscuits are golden and filling is bubbly.
  7. Finish: Brush with melted butter and garnish with parsley.

Tips for Success

  • Shortcut tip: Use rotisserie chicken for faster prep.
  • Make ahead: Prepare filling a day in advance, then assemble before baking.
  • Freeze & reheat: These muffins freeze well—reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.
  • Add more flavor: Mix in herbs like thyme or rosemary for depth.

Creative Variations

  • Buffalo Chicken: Add buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles.
  • Turkey Leftovers: Swap chicken with leftover Thanksgiving turkey.
  • Vegetarian Option: Replace chicken with mushrooms or tofu.
  • Breakfast Twist: Use scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon inside biscuit cups.

Healthier Modifications

Want a lighter option? Swap regular biscuit dough with whole wheat dough and use a light cream soup. You can also reduce cheese or replace with nutritional yeast for a healthier, dairy-light choice.
