Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Filling:
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/3 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • For the Biscuit Dough:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 3/4 cup cold buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, combine all filling ingredients. Mix until well incorporated and creamy. Set aside.
  3. Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Add cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or forks to work butter into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized bits.
  4. Gently stir in the cold buttermilk just until a shaggy dough forms. Do not overmix.
  5. Assemble: Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat into a rough rectangle about 1/2-inch thick. Cut into 12 equal squares.
  6. Take one dough square, flatten slightly in your palm, and place a heaping tablespoon of filling in the center. Gather dough edges up and over filling, pinching to seal. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Repeat.
  7. Optional: Brush biscuit tops with extra buttermilk or a beaten egg for color.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until biscuits are puffed and golden brown. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a buttermilk substitute, mix 3/4 cup milk with 2 tsp white vinegar or lemon juice; let sit 5 minutes. Use cold butter for flaky layers. Do not overwork the dough. Seal biscuits well to prevent filling from leaking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
