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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, thawed mixed vegetables, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Press each biscuit circle into a muffin cup, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides to form a shell.
Step 5
Spoon the chicken and potato mixture evenly into the prepared biscuit shells, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 6
Top each muffin with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the biscuit dough is golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and brush the tops with melted butter while still warm.
Step 9
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them and serve warm. Enjoy!
