Chicken in a biscuit?

So for dinner tonight I was going to make Chicken Rolls (I've heard them called puffs or pillows too) and got everything ready only to look in the fridge and find out I was out of what has always been considered a staple in my mom's house: cream cheese. So I guess by default -- these turned out to be somewhat lower-fat than the normal recipe. But they were still tasty -- I'd make 'em again! Ingredients:
1 refrigerated tube of biscuits
some green onions
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
a spoonful of fat free sour cream - like 1/3 c?
1/3 can low-fat cream of chicken soup
sprinkle of craisens

Flatten out the biscuits with your hands and press into muffin tins -- then fill with chicken mixture (which is everything but the biscuits). Bake according to instructions on biscuits and you can choose to (or not to) top them with the rest of the cream of chicken -- heated through and thinned with milk to desired consistency.

(I had originally planned to make the normal stuffed balls but was having trouble with the type of biscuit I had -- so to make it easier and to include more filling -- I used the muffin method. It's all about improvising.)
