This chicken in a biscuit recipe is so simple to make with only 2 ingredients. Perfect for a party appetizer or a kid friendly meal.
I’m sure when you hear “chicken in a biscuit” you think of those yummy crackers that are so addicting like I do. Or sometimes I think of those chicken minis Chick-fil-a serves at breakfast.
So I thought why not take the literal term “chicken in a biscuit” and make it into a tasty appetizer. I mean who doesn’t love a little chicken bite wrapped up in some carbs?
What do I need to make Chicken in a Biscuit?
It really couldn’t get any simpler as far as ingredients for this recipe. You will only need 2 ingredients to whip these up.
- A can of biscuits (8 large ones). I chose the flaky jumbo ones with butter flavor because that is my personal favorite. You can never go wrong with butter.
- Chicken bites. I bought mine from Walmart with the Great Value brand. Chicken nuggets are usually a little too big so you want more of a bite-size chicken.
