Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb ground chicken
  2. 1 can sloppy joe sauce
  3. 1 can refrigerated biscuits
  4. 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  5. 1 onion, diced
  6. Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground chicken, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink and fully cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add diced onions to the skillet and sauté with the chicken until the onions become translucent and soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Season the chicken and onion mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine the seasonings evenly.
  5. Pour the entire can of sloppy joe sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat the chicken and onions completely. Simmer the mixture for 2-3 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  6. Open the can of refrigerated biscuits and cut each biscuit into quarters using a sharp knife.
  7. Transfer the chicken sloppy joe mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
  8. Scatter the quartered biscuit pieces over the chicken mixture, ensuring they are distributed somewhat randomly but mostly covered.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the biscuits and chicken mixture.
  10. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from the oven and let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the mixture to set and prevent burning.
  12. Serve hot, scooping out portions that include the saucy chicken and the crispy, cheesy biscuit pieces.

Tips

  1. Ensure your ground chicken is fully cooked and crumbled into small pieces for the best texture.
  2. Don't skip browning the onions - they add depth of flavor to the dish.
  3. Use a sharp knife to cut biscuits into even quarters for consistent cooking.
  4. For extra crispy biscuit tops, brush with a little melted butter before baking.
  5. Let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the sauce to set and prevent burning.
  6. For a spicier version, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture.
  7. Use freshly shredded cheese for the best melting consistency and flavor.
  8. If you're watching calories, opt for lean ground chicken and low-fat cheese.
  9. Serve with a side salad or quick vegetable to balance the hearty main dish.
  10. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven to maintain the biscuits' crispiness.
