Cheesy Chicken Pastries

The smell alone of this dish was fantastic... even my dog can attest to that. There's just something about that fantastic smell of buttery biscuits baking in the oven. Now I know this doesn't exactly fall under my "low carb" plan for either my mom or my body/blood type, but sometimes you just have to splurge and indulge yourself in something extra delicious just for the fun of it. And I went ahead and paired this meal with my Berry Chicken Salad (very simple, see picture below) so it wasn't too high in WW Points value, but still filling and satisfying. 

Let me put it this way... You know it's good when you start with only two rolls on your plate and just can't help yourself from going back for more (both my mom and I did... my dad was out of town, otherwise I'm positive he would have too). Enjoy!
