Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (preferably rotisserie for added flavor)

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup green chilies, diced (choose mild or hot based on your spice preference)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (contains 8 biscuits)

1 egg, beaten (for an egg wash)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended and cohesive.

      Roll Out the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and separate each biscuit. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands or a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a disk approximately 4 inches in diameter.

        Add the Filling: Spoon a generous tablespoon of the chicken mixture into the center of each biscuit disc. Be mindful not to overfill, as this may cause the filling to spill out when baking.

          Seal the Biscuit Bites: Gently fold the biscuit disc over the filling, pinching the edges firmly to enclose the filling completely. Place each sealed biscuit bite seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet.

            Brush with Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, apply the beaten egg over the tops of the sealed biscuit bites. This step ensures your biscuits achieve a beautiful golden finish once baked.

              Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the tops of the bites to enhance flavor and promote a crispy texture.

                Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuit bites are puffed up and golden brown.

                  Cool and Serve: Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before serving. These delightful bites can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or even a main dish when paired with a refreshing side salad!
