Chicken and cheese Biscuit

You know what a Biscuit means in British English and what a biscuit means in American English. The first time I ate a biscuit in America I didn't like it but when I had Biscuits and Gravy it was pretty yummy. But today I made my own variation of Ham and Cheese Biscuit because I don't eat Ham I used sliced deli chicken and since I was using a dark baking pan I baked the biscuits to a golden perfection at 400 degrees instead of 425
                        An ideal weekend breakfast or if you have a little time it can be made on a weekday today. Overall it just took me about 30 minutes to make it and warm and yummy biscuits are ready

Gather up scraps; roll out once more and cut out additional biscuits; you should have total of 12. Discard trimmings. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
