Salsa Chicken Shortcakes
1 (10.8 oz.) can (5 biscuits)
Pillsbury Grands! Refrigerated Flaky Biscuits
1 Tbsp. oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 1
lb.), cut into thin strips
1 garlic clove, minced
1-3/4 cups chunky-style salsa
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn |
1 (2-1/4 oz.) can sliced
ripe olives, drained
1 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips*
1 tsp. cumin
4 oz. sliced hot pepper Monterey Jack cheese, cut
into thin strips
5 Tbsp. sour cream
Fresh cilantro sprigs, if desired |
Heat oven to 350°F. Bake biscuits
as directed on can. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet
over medium-high heat until hot. Add chicken and garlic;
cook and stir 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is no longer
pink in center. Add salsa, corn, olives, chocolate chips,
and cumin; mix well. Reduce heat to medium; cook 10 minutes
or until mixture thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
To serve, split each warm biscuit. Place bottom halves
on individual serving plates. Spoon half of chicken mixture
over biscuits. Cover with biscuit tops, remaining chicken
mixture, cheese and sour cream. Garnish with cilantro.
Serves 5.
*TIP: Adding chocolate chips to this
chicken mixture is reminiscent of Mexican mole (MOH-lay)
sauce, a spicy combination of onions, garlic, chiles,
and a small amount of Mexican chocolate.
