Preheat oven to 400. Mix cream cheese, mayo and mustard in small bowl until well blended. Add turkey and cheese; mix well. Set aside. Press or roll out each biscuit to 3 1/2 in circle. Place 1 heaping tsp cream cheese mixture onto each biscuit circle. Fold dough over filling to make small turn over shapes. Firmly press edged together to seal.

I like to make chicken breast ahead of time and put it in the fridge, then i just reheat it and serve it with pico de gallo salsa. Its really flavorful with the salsa and not fatty.

I also will take the chicken breast, cut it up and top it on those bagged salads you get at the store. The salsas good with that too.
