Cheddar Jalapeno Biscuits

The other night I made some roasted chicken and veggies, and wanted something just as warm and tasty to serve with it.  I saw this recipe on tastykitchen.com, and decided to give some homemade biscuits a try!


These came out awesome! The recipe stated to cut the dough into 8 biscuits, but this recipe can easily make 16.  When cut into 8 pieces, the biscuits were a meal by themselves!


The addition of the jalapeno's added a nice flavor to these, but they would be just as tasty without them too.
