Ingredients

1 (7.5-ounce) can refrigerated biscuits 10-count, regular size (NOT Grands or Jumbo)
2 1/2 cups cooked chicken shredded
1/2-2/3 cup BBQ sauce
2/3 cup Monterey Jack cheese shredded

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 10-cup muffin pan.
In a medium bowl, stir together the shredded chicken and BBQ sauce until the chicken is evenly coated.
Separate the biscuits and press one biscuit into each muffin cup, pressing the dough up the sides to form a cup.
Divide the BBQ chicken mixture evenly among the biscuit cups and top each with the shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is melted.
Let the cups cool in the pan for 3 to 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm.

Notes

Use regular refrigerated biscuits rather than Grands! or jumbo biscuits so the biscuit-to-filling ratio is balanced.
The amount of BBQ sauce can be adjusted based on your preference. Start with ½ cup for a thicker filling or use up to ⅔ cup for a saucier version.
Refrigerate - Store leftover BBQ Chicken Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Freeze - Once completely cooled, place the cups in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheat - Warm in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5 to 8 minutes, or microwave individual cups in 20 to 30-second intervals until heated through.
