Ingredients

For the Biscuit Cups

• 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

For the BBQ Chicken Filling

• 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
• ½ cup barbecue sauce (adjust according to taste)
• ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ cup diced red onion
• ¼ cup diced bell pepper (optional)
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

For Topping

• Extra shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
• Fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Filling

Begin by preparing the barbecue chicken mixture.

Place the shredded cooked chicken in a large bowl.

Add:

• Barbecue sauce
• Smoked paprika
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Salt
• Black pepper

Mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated.

The barbecue sauce should cover the chicken completely, creating a moist and flavorful filling.

Tip:

For the best flavor, use a combination of shredded chicken breast and thigh meat. The thigh meat adds extra moisture and richness.

Step 2: Add Extra Flavor Ingredients

Stir in diced onions and bell peppers if desired.

These vegetables add:

• A slight crunch
• Natural sweetness
• Extra color
• Fresh flavor balance

Mix gently so the chicken mixture remains light and evenly combined.

Step 3: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.

Separate the biscuit dough pieces.

Flatten each biscuit using your fingers or a rolling pin until it becomes a thin circle large enough to cover the bottom and sides of a muffin cup.
