Yum! I really enjoyed these. The only thing is to make sure that you don't buy the grands biscuits...My biscuit cups expanded so much that they pushed everything in the cups out. Still tasted delicious, but a little messy this way!
ReplyDeleteOh yikes! Yes, I just used the normal sized biscuits and the grands are way bigger so I can imagine those would get huge! Haha. Glad they still tasted yummy! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the exact recipe that I make... found it on the WW boards about 4 years ago. My husband loves them... but for me... we ate them so much that I'm SICK of them! LOL. Everytime he asks me to make them I cringe.
ReplyDeleteMy fav was and still is the Chicken Baseballs which uses FF Cream cheese... YUM.
Made it for me and my FH and it was a hit! Super amazingly wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI want to try to make these...how do you cook the chicken? Is it grilled?
ReplyDeleteI made these the same night I made the cream cheese muffins and realized I need more muffin tins!!! haha
ReplyDeleteThese were delicious and definitely the perfect little comfort food muffin! I'll be waiting for another recipe like this soon!!! =]
Has anyone tried adding veggies to this recipe? Maybe broccoli or spinach?
ReplyDeleteMy DH even liked these, and he's not usually that fond of chicken. :)
ReplyDeleteI did have trouble getting the biscuit dough to stay up the sides of the cups. Is that normal, or was the cooking spray a mistake? (My muffin tin is non-stick.)
nah, refrigerated biscuits always want to shrink back when you spread them out. Just do the best you can with pressing them up the sides and then put them in the oven right away. They'll grow in the oven!
DeleteI like to add frozen peas to this.
ReplyDeletedelicious! I didn't use any cooking spray and my biscuit didn't stay all the way up the sides however it seemed to be heavier than the soup mix and the sides rose around it in a few cases. it worked and when I let them set I could pick them up like a cupcake.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them!
DeleteThis is one of my favorite recipes! It freezes well, too, and I reheat it in the oven I love your muffin tin ideas. They're perfectly portioned, hearty meals.
ReplyDeleteThanks SJ! Glad this is a hit!
DeleteI have added green beans and corn to this with finely shredded chicken and they are awesome!
ReplyDeleteYum, sounds great!
DeleteThese were a hit at our house tonight!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you liked them!
DeleteMade these last night! My husband gave them a 10! There were no leftovers to be had today! Making your chicken tamale bake tonight! Thanks for such great, tasty recipes!
ReplyDeleteSo happy these were a hit! Hope you love the tamale bake too :)
DeleteCan you give the calorie count for these? I'd do it myself but I'm not sure how to lol

ReplyDeleteI'm currently working my way back through all my older recipes to calculate the NI, but since I have a lot of recipes it's taking me quite a while! I will try to get to this one soon, but if you need the NI in the meantime, you can use the recipe builder on www.myfitnesspal.com. That's what I use to figure it out!
DeleteOh ok thanks!
DeleteWe made this recipe tonight, only we used (a not as healthy) a can of the cream of chicken & mushroom soup instead of just cream of chicken. INCREDIBLE. My fiance is excited to try all the other recipes on your site, thank you so much for sharing these! Can't wait to see what you have next :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy these were a hit! Definitely let me know what else you try. Thanks for your comment!
DeleteI made these for the second time tonight. My family loves them! Thank you for helping me make yummy family friendly meals that are healthier!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa! I'm so happy the whole fam loved these! :)
DeleteJust found your site can't wait to try everything...I'm a picky eater and these are right up my ally. I think adding ham for a chicken cordon blue would be nice to try too.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!
DeleteHey Emily,
ReplyDeleteI made these two nights ago and they were fabulous! My husband and two year old loved them. And there was even enough left overs to have supper the next night. I LOVE your website & will continue to use your brilliant ideas (love the 'cupcakes/muffins') to feed my picky eaters!
Aw, thanks! Glad your family loved these!
DeleteI have been wanting to make these for a while and finally made them tonight and we LOVED them...even my husband! I'm planning on making a bunch and freezing them for quick weeknight meals after work! Can't wait to try more of your "cupcakes"! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear these were a hit! :)
DeleteHi Emily! I am a new follower of your site and I'm having a great time trying the recipes! One downside - I'm having a hard time finding non-"Grands" RF biscuits (I shop at a major regional chain in PA/OH). I'm sure you're hesitant to post brand names, but if you or any other followers have some tips on where to find normal sized RF biscuits, or what kinds you use, I'd really appreciate it! In the meantime, I'm going to try to downsize the Grands I bought to make them work. :)
ReplyDeletehas anyone figured out the nutritional value on these by chance?

ReplyDeleteI have made these time and time again, always delish! I didn't have biscuits tonight, so I mixed with pasta and made a casserole! Even better! Thank you Emily
