Ingredients
  

1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced

1/2 cup ranch dressing

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup green onions, sliced (optional)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

    Prepare Biscuit Dough: Carefully open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Gently flatten each biscuit with your hands to create a small disc, making it easier to fill.

      Make Chicken Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken with ranch dressing, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the ranch mixture.

        Assemble Melts: On each flattened biscuit, spoon about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into the center. If using, sprinkle a bit of sliced green onions over the chicken for added flavor.

          Seal the Biscuits: Carefully fold the biscuit over the chicken filling, pinching the edges firmly to seal them. This will create a pocket to keep the filling inside as it bakes.

            Apply Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg until well blended. Brush the beaten egg over the tops of each biscuit pocket; this will help achieve a beautiful golden color once baked.

              Bake: Arrange the sealed biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the biscuits have puffed up and turned golden brown.

                Add Cheese: After baking, remove the biscuits from the oven and immediately sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top. Return them to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

                  Brush with Butter: Once they are golden and cheesy, brush the tops with melted butter for added richness and shine.

                    Serve: Allow the biscuits to cool slightly, then serve them warm with extra ranch dressing on the side for dipping, perfect for enhancing the flavors.
