Instructions
1
Begin by poaching the chicken breasts in boiling water for about 10 minutes until fully cooked. Allow to cool, then shred the chicken finely using a food processor or by hand.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, chopped green onions, cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper, lemon pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until the mixture is creamy and fully combined.
3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Open the cans of biscuits and individually roll out each biscuit on a lightly floured surface to create a flatter, larger circle.
4
Spoon approximately one heaping tablespoon of the creamy chicken mixture onto the center of each biscuit. Fold the dough over the filling and gently press to seal. It's okay if some filling spills out; it will set during baking.
5
Arrange the filled roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown.
6
Once baked, remove the roll-ups from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These roll-ups can be made in advance, frozen, and reheated in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes.
