Jalapeño Pillows

This is a Pillsbury recipe I tweaked (I didn't use Pillsbury brand biscuits...oops). My husband went ga-ga over these. My kids thought they were too spicy (I used 2 jalapeños) but they were good! They'd work as an appetizer (just use smaller biscuits and smaller portions of filling). Makes 8 pillows.

Jalapeño Pillows

8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1 c shredded cheddar cheese
1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and diced, or more according to taste
1 c cooked chicken,
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1 can large refrigerator biscuits, 8 count
1 egg
splash of water
garlic salt, to taste

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, mix cream cheese, cheddar cheese, chiles, pepper and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside.
2. Separate biscuits. Roll each about 1/8" thick round. Spoon 1/8 of the mixture into each flattened biscuit. Pull dough around filling and pinch hard to seal. Place seam-side down on ungreased cookie sheet.
3. Beat egg in small bowl with small splash of water. Brush tops of stuffed biscuits. Sprinkle tops with garlic salt and pepper, to taste.
4. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and firm. Serve warm.
