Barbecue Chicken Cups

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 (12 ounce) package refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/3 (or more) cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the cups of a muffin pan.
  2. In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, saute' onion in the olive oil til tender, about five minutes. Add chicken and cook until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in barbecue sauce and dried onion. Simmer for a few minutes over low heat.
  3. Flatten each biscuit, and press into cups of the prepared muffin pan. Make sure the dough comes to the top of the pan. Spoon a portion of the meat mixture into each dough cup.
  4. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and bake for 3 more minutes.
Notes: I have cut the biscuits in half and doubled the meat mixture to make twice as much. Obviously the cups are thinner, but we didn't notice it. Also, I have used a pre-made pizza dough (Publix makes one fresh in the bakery) in place of the biscuit dough and it's very good!

  1. I've done this with the CURLY'S BBQ chicken from Publix or Costco and it was great and super easy!-Meredith BTW...I'm enjoying browsing your cookbook. GREAT idea.
