Heat a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
Then add the ground chicken, peppers, and onion.
Cook until chicken is white and firm, and the vegetables are soft and fragrant.
Drain grease and add the taco or fajita seasoning and 2/3 cup of water, stir, and let simmer.
Meanwhile split the biscuit dough in half (by pulling apart) so that you have 16 rounds.
Press the biscuit dough rounds into a greased cupcake pan.
Then fill each cup with the chicken mixture and top with cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and biscuits are golden brown.
