How To Make Air Fryer Air Fryer Chicken & Broccoli Biscuit Bites

Mixing chicken, broccoli, and cheese filling for Air Fryer Biscuit Pies

Step One: Heat a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the pan and add the minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, then add the milk and cream of chicken soup. Whisk to combine, then place chicken breast inside—cover and cook for 15 minutes. 

Step Two: Chop broccoli florets into ¼” pieces.  Remove the chicken from the pan and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add shredded cheese to the pan and stir until melted.

Step Three: Shred the chicken, then add chopped broccoli, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Pour the mixture into the cheese sauce and stir well to combine. Turn off the heat. 

Sealing the edges of the biscuit pies before air frying

Step Four: Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 3-5 minutes. Roll out crescent roll dough. Separate into the pre-cut triangles. Fuse 2 triangles to form a rectangle and pinch the seams to seal. Use a pizza cutter and cut each rectangle in half to make two squares.  Add about  ⅓ cup of chicken mixture to the center of each square. Gather the edges over the filling and pinch to seal. Form into a ball. 

Placing Chicken & Broccoli Biscuit Pies into the air fryer basket

Step Five: Prepare egg wash by whisking the egg with 2 tbsp of water. Brush each dough round with egg wash and sprinkle with salt (optional). Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray.  Place into the air fryer basket in a single layer and cook for 10 minutes.

Air Fryer Chicken & Broccoli Biscuit Pies Recipe Tips

  • Chicken: If you do not want to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, another option would be to use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. You can also use rotisserie chicken and then shred it.
  • Size: Try to make all the chicken bites the same size so they all cook up at about the same time.
  • Topping: For even more flavor, brush the crescent rolls as they bake with melted butter and garnish with some freshly grated parmesan cheese.
  • Crowding: For best results, do not crowd your air fryer basket. Otherwise, the dough will not get fully cooked. Be sure to leave plenty of space around the rolls so they cook up to perfection.

Air Fryer Chicken & Broccoli Biscuit Pies Recipe Faqs

Can I use canned chicken? Yes, you can use either, or either leftover chicken.

What type of biscuit dough works best? Refrigerated biscuit dough or homemade biscuit dough works well. Crescent roll dough is also an option for a flakier texture.

Can I add other vegetables? Absolutely! Diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or even spinach can be added to the filling for extra flavor and nutrients.

How long do leftovers last? Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to maintain crispiness.

Can I freeze these biscuit pies? Yes, assemble the pies and freeze them before cooking. When ready, air fry directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
