Ingredients
  

1 cup cooked chicken, shredded

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

1 large egg

1/2 cup marinara sauce (for topping)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with paper liners for easy removal after baking.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Make sure they are well combined to ensure even flavor throughout the muffins.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan cheese until well distributed. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, milk, and egg. Pour this wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

        Add Chicken Mixture: Gently fold the chicken and cheese mixture into the batter, ensuring that it is evenly incorporated without overworking the dough.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or a small ice cream scoop, fill each mini muffin cup with the batter, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow for rising as they bake.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. The muffins are done when they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Top with Marinara: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the tin. After cooling slightly, spoon a small amount of marinara sauce onto the top of each muffin for added flavor.

                Garnish: If you wish, garnish each muffin with fresh basil leaves to enhance presentation and add a burst of fresh flavor.

                  Serve: Serve your Mini Chicken Parmesan Biscuit Muffins warm as a delightful appetizer, a tasty snack, or a unique accompaniment to your meals.
