Chicken and Cheese and Ranch, oh my! (I’m just kidding. Not really though.)

Dear. Goodness. Me.

I don’t even know what to say. Except for the fact that I made these Tex-Mex Mini Chicken and Cheese Pies yesterday and there are maybe 2 left.

Oh oops they just ended up in my belly right now, weird.

These things might be the secret to ALL OF LIFE. They come in appetizer form, so if you’re having a Tex-Mex themed dinner party, start with these! For the loooooove start with these.

If you have hungry kids after school or swimming or monkey arounding, these are going to be a gift from God.

If you just need some time to yourself with a good book and a snack or twelve, may you find inner zen with every single bite of these.

Dip them in salsa, oh my LORD. Dip them. I can’t even take it anymore, let’s do this.

Shred up a rotis, grate some pepperjack cheese, grab some peppercorn ranch, a couple of eggs, some Bisquick mix and some milk. And cilantro. And OH – if I had to do it all over again (and I will here in about 3.5 minutes) I’d add some Old El Paso diced green chiles. More heat!

Ingredients for Mini Pies

Mix together the Bisquick with the milk and eggs.

Whisk Bisquick Batter

Mix togethra the chicken, cheese, cilantro and peppercorn ranch. (and chiles!)

Chicken Mixture

Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with some cooking spray.  Then you’ll spoon a Tbsp. of the Bisquick mixture in each muffin tin cup. Then you grab a couple of Tbsp. of the chicken mixture and divide it up in each muffin cups, like sooo….

Add Mixture to Muffin Tins

THEN you’ll spoon 1 more Tbsp. of the Bisquick mix over the top.

Add More Batter

All done. Then you throw it in the oven for about half an hour, and…

Ready for the Oven

Seriously.

Baked Until Golden Brown

Let them cool a few minutes and then slide them on out of the cups and DEVOUR.

Serve them with salsa and understand life for the first time.

Super but simple recipe. I made these while waiting on some marinades to do their thing. So quick and easy. The family devoured them and it was all they could talk about rather than my much more technical dinner. Then the suggestions flowed as to other fillings that could be used. Going to experiment with some breakfast offshoots today.

OMG, OMG, OMGoodness! The endless possibilities. Yes, I will add green chiles when I make these this week. Have a bunch of roasted, hatch grren chiles in my freezer. I will also make some breakfast ones to keep in the fridge for my guys by substituting breakfast sausage with a bit of bacon for the chicken.

I’ve got two roasted monster chicken breasts on the bone begging to be used for these tonight I think. I think I’ll substitute our homemade cilantro lime ranch for the peppercorn, too. A salad with black beans, tomatoes, cheese and ranch should go well with this!!
