I saw a great idea on Pinterest to use a bisquick base to make any mini muffin of your choice: Taco, Pot Pie, Chicken and Broccoli, the options are endless. The idea comes from Betty Crocker and I used their base for the bisquick, however I chose what to put in my taco muffins and you can add what you want in yours! I love when I get to make a dish that has built in servings and can also easily be adapted to make only 2-3 servings or 20-30 (that's right think how great something like this would be at a BBQ this summer!)
And I have to say I am proud of myself for remembering tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo and to post this recipe so you would have it for the Holiday!
Chicken Taco Muffins: Makes 16 Muffins
1/2C Bisquick
1/2C Milk
2 Eggs
1lbs Chicken Breast
1C Onion - Chopped
1 Can Summer Crisp Corn
2C Salsa
2oz Cheddar - Shredded
2tsp Olive Oil
Taco Seasoning
Mix together the Bisquick, milk and eggs and set to the side, it is okay that this is completely runny (I added about 1/4tsp of taco seasoning to the mix too for an extra punch)!
Place the chicken in a sauce pot and cover with chicken stock, bring to a boil and cook until completely cooked through. Once cooked take two forks and shred the chicken, or place in a stand mixer and turn on medium until it breaks up into even shredded pieces. Put the onions and olive oil in a pan over medium heat and cook through until browned. Mix the chicken with the salsa, cheese, onions and corn and approximately 2-3 TB of taco seasoning.
Now for the fun part. Grease a muffin tin, pour approximately 1TB of the Bisquick mixture into each muffin tin, then separate the chicken mixture into each tin and place in a 375° oven for approximately 25-35 minutes until the Bisquick has set and browned in the pans, as all of the other ingredients are cooked you are just waiting for the Bisquick to set.
Remove from the pans, serve with your favorite taco toppings: salsa, guacamole, sour cream, lettuce, etc. and enjoy!!

These were so delicious! I'm vegetarian so I substituted the chicken with Light Life brand Gimme Lean ground beef style protein. Worked great!
ReplyDeleteI also used my jumbo muffin tins, so the recipe ended up making about 8 muffins. I had to cook them for about 45 minutes.
The texture was fantastic, the seasoning was super yummy, and best of all I love that I could make this vegetarian. I assume you could also substitute ground beef instead of chicken.
Thanks Jillian! Queen of the Kitchen!
Love the chicken taco muffins!! Having them for dinner tonight its my second time cooking them. Super Easy and Taste Awesome! Im not very expereinced in the kitchen but this recipe makes me feel like Im a pro..I put my chicken in a processor for a quick few seconds. My first go around I was afraid of the muffins bubbling over so I wasnt too generous with the portion size. However this time they were heaping.. Highly recommend especially for a mexican craving friendly in points plus..
