Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1/4 cup green chilies, diced (choose mild or hot according to your taste)

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, sharp cheddar cheese, softened cream cheese, diced green chilies, and chopped green onions. Then add the garlic powder, onion powder, ground cumin, and season with salt and black pepper to your liking. Mix everything until fully integrated and creamy.

      Roll Out the Biscuits: Open the can of biscuit dough and carefully separate the biscuits. On a clean, lightly floured surface, take each biscuit and gently flatten it into a round disc that measures about 4 inches in diameter.

        Add the Filling: Spoon a generous tablespoonful of the chicken filling mixture into the center of each biscuit disc. Be cautious not to overfill, as this can lead to spillage when baking.

          Seal the Biscuit Bites: Fold each biscuit in half over the filling, and pinch the edges securely to ensure a tight seal. Arrange the sealed biscuits seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

            Brush with Egg Wash: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the tops of the sealed biscuit bites with the beaten egg. This step will create a beautiful golden-brown color during baking.

              Drizzle with Olive Oil: Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the tops of the biscuit bites to enhance flavor and help achieve a crispy texture.

                Bake: Carefully place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the biscuits puff up and turn a luscious golden brown.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the bites to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. Serve these delicious bites warm as an appetizer, snack, or alongside a refreshing side salad for a delightful main dish!
