Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked shredded chicken
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and ranch seasoning until smooth.
- Add the shredded chicken and mix well so the chicken is evenly coated.
- Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sliced green onions, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough and flatten each biscuit slightly using your hands.
- Place a spoonful of the crack chicken filling into the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Wrap the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.
- Place the filled biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops lightly with melted butter if desired.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, and serve warm.
Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe and saves preparation time.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened so it mixes smoothly with the chicken.
- Avoid overfilling the biscuits to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
- You can add diced jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for a spicy variation.
- Store leftover Crack Chicken Biscuits in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain the biscuit texture.
- The filling can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
