Spinach & Garlic Chicken Biscuit Bites
These are savory, cheesy, and much easier to pull off than the stuffing method!
Ingredients
-
1 lb ground chicken (or Italian sausage for extra flavor)
-
2 cups Bisquick or similar baking mix (This is the “Pillsbury” box shown in the photo)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup fresh spinach, very finely chopped
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened (half a block)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp dried oregano
-
½ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
-
½ cup milk (adjust as needed for texture)
Instructions
-
Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Mix: In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, baking mix, mozzarella, Parmesan, chopped spinach, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
-
Bind: Add the softened cream cheese. Start mixing by hand or with a sturdy spoon. Gradually add milk a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is moist enough to hold together but not sticky.
-
Scoop: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about the size of a golf ball). Place them on the prepared baking sheet about an inch apart.
-
Bake: Bake for 18–22 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).
-
Finish: While hot, brush with a little melted garlic butter and parsley. Serve with ranch or marinara for dipping!
Quick Tip: Using a small cookie scoop helps keep them uniform so they all cook at the same rate.
