yields twelve servings, two wedges each


1 container (8 oz) sour cream
4 green onions, thinly sliced (4 tablespoons)
1 package (1 oz) ranch dip mix
1 cup chunky-style salsa
1/4 cup Smucker's® Peach Preserves

1 can (16.3 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 biscuits)

In small bowl, mix sour cream, 1 sliced green onion and 1 tablespoon of the ranch dip mix. In another small bowl, mix salsa, preserves and 1 tablespoon of the cilantro.

Heat closed medium-size contact grill for 5 minutes; spray grill plates with Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix chicken, cheese, bacon and remaining green onions, cilantro and ranch dip mix.
