Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the center out of each roll to create a hollow space.
- Melt margarine in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add bread pieces, canned chicken, and chicken soup to the melted margarine; stir to combine.
- Fill the holes in the rolls with the chicken mixture and spread the remaining mixture across the tops of the rolls.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) until the tops are brown, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock instead of cream of chicken soup. You can also substitute butter for margarine for a more decadent taste. If you want to add a bit of crunch, toss in some chopped celery or onions to the mixture. This dish is a great way to use leftover chicken from other American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these chicken biscuits warm for a comforting meal. Pair them with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced dinner. They also make a great appetizer for gatherings, especially when accompanied by a dipping sauce. For a heartier option, consider serving with creamy asparagus soup.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through. This helps maintain the texture of the rolls while warming the filling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use frozen cooked chicken. Just ensure it's fully thawed and shredded before mixing it with the other ingredients. This saves time and allows for a quick preparation.
What type of rolls work best for this dish?
Soft dinner rolls or hamburger buns work best because they create a nice hollow for the chicken mixture. Avoid crusty rolls, as they may not hold the filling well.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the chicken mixture and fill the rolls a few hours in advance. Just keep them covered in the fridge and bake them right before serving for the best results.
