Notes
To save time you can use rotisserie or leftover chicken. You can also use refrigerated or frozen biscuits. If you don't have half-and-half, you can use whole milk or heavy cream. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Consume within 3-4 days. When reheating, ensure that the temperature reaches 165°F.
