I had to make a few adjustments. I thought the chicken mixture looked a little dry so I added some liquid ranch dressing to help bind the mixture but not enough to taste.since I do not own a George I pan cooked them and thought the dough still looked raw around the edges. I put them on a cookie sheet in a 350 degree oven for about 5 minutes to finish cooking the biscuits. My picky husband liked them too. I can see the possibilities with different combinations. Good recipe.

they were delicious. I did not have the contact grill, but used a grill pan and weighed them down and then turned them over and repeated process. I will have to get a quesadilla maker just to make these it will be worth it. Will definitely make them again.

I found them way too small. More like a snack than a meal :( But at least they were easy to make.

Very good. I wasn't able to grill them so I just put them in a pan. Next time I will grill them, I think they will come out better. The inner filling was very good.
