Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked shredded chicken
- 1.5 cups Prepared mashed potatoes
- 1 cup Gravy
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 package Refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup Frozen mixed vegetables (thawed)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, thawed mixed vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin to create a 5-inch circle.
Press each biscuit circle into a muffin cup, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides to form a shell.
Spoon the chicken and potato mixture evenly into the prepared biscuit shells, filling each about 3/4 full.
Top each muffin with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter while still warm.
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them and serve warm. Enjoy!
