Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

In a medium skillet, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat.
Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in flour to make a roux; cook 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Slowly whisk in chicken broth and milk/half-and-half until smooth.
Add shredded chicken, peas, carrots, corn, salt, pepper, and thyme.
Simmer 5–7 minutes until the mixture thickens, then remove from heat.
Stir in parsley if using. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare Biscuit Cups

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Flatten each biscuit slightly and press it into a muffin cup, creating a small well for the filling.

Step 3: Fill and Assemble

Spoon the cooled chicken mixture evenly into each biscuit cup.
Optional: Brush the biscuit edges with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.

Step 4: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and puffed.
Let the bites cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

Tips & Tricks / Flavor Variations

Cheesy upgrade: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Gruyère on top before baking.
Spicy kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the filling.
Herb boost: Fresh rosemary or tarragon adds aromatic complexity.
Mini potluck bites: Cut biscuits smaller to make 20–24 appetizer-sized portions.
Make it gluten-free: Use gluten-free biscuit dough and flour.

Make-Ahead, Storage & Freezing Instructions

Make-Ahead: Prepare filling and biscuit cups separately, then assemble just before baking.
Storage: Store baked bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Unbaked bites can be frozen in the muffin tin, covered tightly with foil, for up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 5–7 minutes to the baking time.
