Transfer mixture to a lightly greased (with cooking spray) 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Arrange biscuits on top of sausage mixture. Bake in preheated oven until biscuits are golden brown and gravy is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Microwave remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small microwavable bowl on HIGH until melted, about 20 seconds. Remove casserole from oven; brush biscuits with melted butter, and sprinkle with chives.
