These Cheesy Chicken Poblano Panecillos appetizer are so delicious! Biscuits stuffed with chicken, poblano peppers, onions, monterey jack cheese and served with salsa verde. Excellent!

I created this appetizer last year and it truly became a hit with my family, friends and a few of you also let me know your thoughts on it. Today, I thought I would repost it for any fowl or beef you may have tonight before those hands strike midnight! If you have any leftover chicken, turkey or beef, make this recipe tomorrow for lunch or as a starter to your New Years Day Dinner.
