Here is a fun and tasty recipe to use up that leftover chicken! These little BBQ chicken cups are kid-sized and kid-approved.
They are fast and easy to put together, too. All it takes is a can of biscuits, shredded chicken, BBQ sauce, and cheese.
How to make easy BBQ chicken cups
Press the biscuits into a muffin tin, add some chicken, top with cheese, and bake! It could not be easier!
I use the jumbo biscuits, and split them in half. That way, the crust is thinner and there’s more room for filling.
You can use any type of shredded chicken; a de-boned rotisserie chicken works great!
Place chicken filling in each biscuit crust.
Top each cup with cheese. I like cheddar, but you can use whatever you have on hand.
All melted and delicious!
What to serve with this dish
This is a quick, easy meal, so I like to keep everything simple and serve with some snap peas and baby carrots, or applesauce. Throw in some fruit cups or some fresh fruit and you’re golden.
Go ahead and use paper plates, too! This is a fun kids’ meal, so make it easy for yourself. Moms need a few fun, easy meals for those days when you have no time, or need a kid-friendly lunch that your toddler will actually eat!
