preheat oven to whatever it calls for on the grands.
melt at least 2 tblsp butter (not margerine) in the 8" exec saute pan; add at least one pressed garlic clove

I prepare the chicken and pop it in the micro, and then, I demo the biscuit bites. Here is the recipe I use:
1 Can Grands Biscuits (any kind - 8 count)
1/4 cup butter (half of a stick)
1-2 Tbls. Italian Seasoning Mix
1 clove Garlic, minced
Parmesan Cheese (I just eyeball this - grate it with the micro grater til it covers the bottom of the pan.)
Melt butter in 8" or 10" Exec. Saute Pan. Sprinkle in Seasoning, press in garlic, and grate in cheese. Cut biscuits into quarters, and arrange in pan. Stir it all to coat biscuits with butter/seasoning mixture, and bake at 375 for 15-18 minutes. Slide out onto plate and serve.
It takes about 15 minutes for me to demo this, plus another 15 minutes for them to bake, and in that the time the chicken is done. So then, they are ready to serve at around the same time!

.I do it this way for the cinnamon and brown sugar version too, we call it mini monkey bread and have it for breakfast. It's perfect for our familly with small kids, and if we have guests or are really hungry I do 2 cans , which can still fit in the 8" pan or the 10" if you have it. If I really need alot then I do 3 cans in the 10" skillet.
Everyone LOVES them! This is such an easy and awesome recipe, and everyone is so impressed by how easily they just slide out of the exec pan.
