For the biscuits: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and thyme.
2
With a pastry cutter or 2 forks cut in the butter until it is crumbly in pea sized pieces.
3
Set aside.
4
In a small bowl mix together the pumpkin and milk.
5
Add the pumpkin mixture slowly into the flour until it forms a nice dough.
6
Using a small amount of flour on your work surface to keep the dough from sticking, press out the dough into a disk 1/2 inch thick.
7
Use a small round cutter to cut out biscuits.
8
Gather the dough scraps and flatten them into a disk and cut out any additional biscuits that you can.
9
Place them onto a lightly greased baking sheet.
10
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes until the bottoms are slightly browned.
11
Let cool then cut in half and add the chicken salad.
12
For the Cranberry Chicken Salad: Add all of the salad ingredients to a large bowl and gently mix together.
13
Sometimes I find that I need to add a little more mayo, but I always start out with a smaller amount because I dont like it too goopy.
14
Add 1 tablespoon of salad per mini biscuit.
