A hand presses biscuit dough into a muffin tin cup.

They are especially handy when you want a hot, shareable snack with extra pizza sauce for dipping.

Why This Recipe Works

Adding the sauce and cheese after the biscuit portion has baked helps the dough set before it takes on the weight of the toppings. The final broil melts and browns the mozzarella for a classic chicken Parmesan-style finish.

Ingredients

Pillsbury homestyle biscuits or similar
cooked chicken nuggets
Italian seasonings
pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese

How to Make It

Preheat your oven to 375. Unroll Pillsbury homestyle biscuits or similar.

Red pizza sauce is spooned over baked biscuit cups in a muffin tin.

Place one biscuit at the bottom of a greased muffin tin. On top of that, place a cooked chicken nugget.

Press down into the dough. Season with your favorite Italian seasonings.

A muffin tin holds six biscuit cups topped with shredded cheese, ready to go under the broiler.

Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 minutes until the biscuits are cooked through. Remove from the oven.

Let it cool for about 5 minutes. Place a tablespoon of your favorite pizza sauce followed by enough shredded mozzarella cheese to fill the top of the cup.

Chicken Parmesan biscuit bites topped with bubbly melted cheese bake in a muffin tin inside an oven.

Place under your broiler for 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown. Remove from oven.

Allow to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve hot with extra pizza sauce if desired.

Six chicken Parmesan biscuit bites topped with melted golden-brown cheese sit on a blue plate.

Tips and Variations

Check the biscuit dough around the sides and beneath the chicken nugget before adding the toppings. Dough pressed close to the nugget can take longer to bake than the exposed edges.

A hand uses a red brush to apply seasoning to chicken Parmesan biscuit bites on a blue plate.

Watch closely under the broiler, since mozzarella can go from melted to overly browned quickly. Let the bites rest before lifting them from the muffin tin so the hot sauce and cheese can settle.
