Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick Mix (just the powder)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Wet Ingredients
- ¾ cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (or vegetable oil)
- 2 large eggs
Main Mix-ins
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
- 2 cups zucchini, shredded and squeezed dry with paper towels
- 4 oz. cheese, shredded (about 1½ cups)
- 3 tbsp green onions, sliced
For Serving
- Hot honey, as a drizzle when serving
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining the cups with paper liners to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Bisquick mix, milk, melted butter, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined to form the batter base.
- Add the Chicken and Vegetables: Gently fold in the shredded chicken, grated and dried zucchini, shredded cheese, and sliced green onions. Be careful not to overmix to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each one to the top to ensure a good muffin shape.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the muffins are cooked through and the tops turn a light golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly, then carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen them. Remove from the tin, drizzle with hot honey if desired, and enjoy warm for maximum flavor.
Notes
- Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

- Reheat frozen or refrigerated muffins in an air fryer at 375°F for best texture and taste.
