Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 biscuits
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 2 cups Medifast pancake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the biscuits from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of Medifast pancake mix and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the pancake mix.
- Add the shredded chicken and shredded cheese to the dry ingredients. Mix until the chicken and cheese are well coated with the pancake mixture.
- Slowly pour in 1/2 cup of water while stirring the mixture. Continue mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but not overly sticky. If it is too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Add salt to taste, mixing it thoroughly into the dough. Be mindful of how much salt you add, especially if your chicken or cheese is already salted.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the dough and form them into biscuit shapes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each biscuit for expansion during baking.
- Once all the dough is shaped into biscuits and placed on the baking sheet, you can optionally sprinkle a little extra cheese on top of each biscuit for added flavor and a nice golden finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a biscuit; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the Chicken Cheesy Medifast Biscuits warm as a delicious snack or a side dish. Enjoy!
Tips
- Ensure your chicken is finely shredded for the best texture and even distribution throughout the biscuits.
- Don't overmix the dough – this can make your biscuits tough instead of light and fluffy.
- For extra flavor, try adding herbs like dried parsley or chives to the mixture.
- If the dough seems too dry, add water slowly – you want a moist but not sticky consistency.
- For a crispy exterior, brush the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking.
- Let the biscuits cool slightly before serving to allow them to set and develop their full flavor.
- These biscuits are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain their crispy texture when enjoying leftovers.
