Refrigerated biscuit dough is filled with a chicken and salsa filling and baked in the oven. Reviewer MOMMYVAL says, "This is a really tasty recipe that you can spice up with hot salsa or jalapeno jack cheese. We loved it! It's not the type of thing you'd want to have as a leftover (the biscuit becomes soggy upon reheating) but you don't have to worry about that because there's never any left when you're done! It's too good!"
