Ingredients

3/4 pound ground chicken
1/3 cup Buffalo wing sauce
1 tube (16.3 ounces) large refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Blue cheese salad dressing, optional

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a large skillet, cook chicken over medium heat until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 5-7 minutes; drain. Remove from heat; stir in wing sauce.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll each biscuit into a 6-in. circle; top each with 1/4 cup chicken mixture and 2 tablespoons cheese. Fold dough over filling; pinch edge to seal.
3. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, 12-14 minutes. If desired, serve with blue cheese dressing.

Freeze option:
Freeze cooled pockets in a freezer container. To use, reheat pockets on an ungreased baking sheet in a preheated 375° oven until heated through.
