Ingredients

6 strips bacon
1/2 cup diced red onion
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked and shredded)
1 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 (16 ounce) bottle barbecue sauce (divided)
1 (16.3 ounce) package refrigerated biscuits
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
2 Tablespoons fresh cilantro (chopped)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Fry bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, blot with paper towels and crumble.
Add onion and shredded chicken to a pan with olive oil. Saute over medium heat until onion is tender. Stir in 1/2 cup barbecue sauce and remove from heat. Mix in crumbled bacon.
Flatten out biscuit dough on a greased cookie sheet. Spread a teaspoon of barbecue sauce on each biscuit. Divide the chicken mixture between the biscuits, spreading on only half of each biscuit and keeping 1/2 inch away from the edge.
Sprinkle cheese and cilantro over top of each biscuit.
Fold biscuits in half and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve with additional barbecue sauce for dipping.
