Biscuits stuffed with Chicken Salad

Chicken salad biscuits are the ultimate comfort food mashup that you didn’t know you needed. Each bite is a perfect blend of warm, buttery biscuit and creamy homemade chicken salad that’s packed with tons of great flavor. Whether you’re enjoying them straight from the oven or as a quick snack later, chicken salad biscuits are a warm, satisfying treat that hits the spot every time.

How to Make Chicken Salad Biscuits

This dish is super easy to make with only five simple ingredients. In a large bowl, stir together shredded chicken, mayonnaise, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped celery, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.

Open a can of refrigerated biscuits. Separate biscuit dough into 10 biscuits; place each biscuit in a regular-size muffin tin that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Using a rolling pin, roll each biscuit into a large circle. Firmly press dough in the bottom and up the side of each muffin cup.

Spoon the chicken mixture into the biscuit cups. Top each biscuit with grated cheese. Bake in a preheated oven until the biscuits are golden brown. Sprinkle with dried parsley or paprika.

What to Serve with Chicken Salad Biscuits

This is one of our favorite recipes! It is great for a quick lunch or dinner or as an appetizer at parties, baby showers, and game day celebrations. Chicken salad biscuits are hearty enough to stand on their own, but pairing them with a few simple sides can turn them into a well-rounded meal. 

• A crisp green salad with a light vinaigrette adds freshness and balances the richness of the biscuits. 
• For something warm, a bowl of tomato soup or a simple vegetable soup makes a comforting match. 
• For something a bit heartier, a classic pasta salad loaded with colorful vegetables like cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, and a tangy dressing is a perfect match.
• Roasted vegetables, such as asparagus, carrots, or Brussels sprouts, bring a warm, savory element to the table.
• If you’re serving them for brunch or lunch, fresh fruit like grapes, melon, or berries adds a sweet, juicy contrast. 
• For a bit of crunch, a handful of kettle-cooked chips or a side of pickles works perfectly. 

With these sides, chicken salad biscuits become part of a delicious spread that’s sure to please any crowd.
