Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bites
Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked shredded chicken, ranch seasoning mix, cream cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is creamy and evenly distributed.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough. Carefully separate the biscuits and flatten each one slightly using your hands or a rolling pin to create a small disc.
- Place a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture in the center of each flattened biscuit. Be careful not to overfill, as this may cause the biscuits to burst while baking.
- Fold the edges of the biscuit dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal. You can also roll the biscuit into a ball shape if you prefer. Place the filled biscuit bites seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Once all the biscuit bites are assembled, brush the tops lightly with melted butter for a golden finish (optional). You can also sprinkle a little extra cheddar cheese on top for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are golden brown and cooked through. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
- Once baked, remove the biscuit bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet.
- While the bites are cooling, chop some green onions for garnish.
- Serve the Crack Chicken Biscuit Bites warm, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy your delicious, savory snacks!
Tips
- Ensure your chicken is thoroughly shredded and at room temperature for easy mixing.
- Don't overfill the biscuit dough to prevent bursting during baking.
- For extra crispiness, brush the tops with melted butter before baking.
- Use fresh, high-quality ranch seasoning for the most robust flavor.
- Let the bites cool for a few minutes after baking to allow the filling to set.
- Experiment with different cheese blends for unique flavor variations.
- These bites can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
- For a golden-brown finish, place the baking sheet in the upper third of the oven.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
- Leftover bites can be reheated in an air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness.
