1

Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray. In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat until hot. Add chicken and onion; sprinkle with 1 rounded teaspoon of the taco seasoning mix and mix thoroughly. Cook 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from heat.
2

In medium bowl, mix ranch dressing and 2 tablespoons of the taco seasoning mix until well blended. Place 1 cup dressing mixture in small serving bowl; set aside. To remaining salad dressing mixture in medium bowl, stir in Cheddar cheese, tomato, cilantro, garlic and chicken mixture.
3

Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Place 4 biscuits on sprayed cookie sheet; with fingers, press each into 5-inch round. Place rounded 1/2 cup chicken mixture on center of each biscuit. Press remaining 4 biscuits into 5-inch rounds; place over topped biscuits on cookie sheet, making sure top and bottom edges match up. Press edges firmly to seal.
4

Lift edges of filled biscuits off cookie sheet and with scissors, snip edges 1/4 inch deep and 1/2 inch apart all the way around to make a fringed look. In small bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and 1/8 teaspoon of the taco seasoning mix. Rub cheese mixture over tops of biscuits.
5

Bake at 375°F. for 16 to 22 minutes or until deep golden brown. Cool on cookie sheet 3 to 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place serving bowl of dressing mixture in center of large platter; arrange shredded lettuce around bowl.

Remove sandwiches from cookie sheet; cut each in half. Arrange sandwich halves on lettuce around bowl of sauce.
