Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked shredded chicken
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.75 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted, for brushing)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder (for butter topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and cooked shredded chicken until evenly distributed.
Gradually pour in the milk while stirring, just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a large spoon or an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
While the biscuits are baking, prepare the butter topping by mixing the melted butter with the 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder.
As soon as the biscuits come out of the oven, brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
