  2. Just made this with Bob’d Red Mill Gluten Free Pancake Mix and Buttermilk. Did find I had to make an extra batch of the pancake mix to top them all. I also was able to fit it all in a 12 cup jumbo muffin/cupcake pan. I’ll let you know how it comes out! Xo.

  3. I have these in the oven right now! The chicken mixture tastes delicious and they were really easy to make!

  4. Do you HAVE to thaw before microwaving or reheating in the oven? I’m looking for recipes that I can grab and throw in the microwave for a minute when I only have a minute for lunch.

    1. Robin, I may have answered you question in a different place as well, but yes, these can be microwaved from frozen (try 50% power or using your microwave preset for frozen entrees for best results). Also, if you are packing these in a lunch box in the morning or the night befoe, they should thaw by the time lunch rolls around.
