Smothered in gravy, drizzled with honey or smeared with jelly, there are countless ways to top a biscuit, but have you ever tried stuffing one?
These buttermilk biscuit-based buns look like a cross between a sloppy joe and a burger, but instead of a beefy filling, each fluffy bun is bursting from the inside out with a saucy, warmly spiced ground chicken filling!
Prepped in 15 minutes using store-bought biscuit dough and a handful of fresh ingredients from Heinen’s, like Gerber’s CARE Certified ground chicken, this is a hand-held meal that everyone will want to sink their teeth into.
