BUFFALO CHICKEN PHYLLO CUPS

This is a simple recipe that I created borrowing the Buffalo Chicken portion from a separate recipe. It's quick, easy, and is always a hit at parties! AND... It's from Buffalo... so no Ranch dressing allowed!! :-) The measurements for the ratio of Frank's Red Hot to dressing and bleu cheese is up to you, but this should give you a good place to start.

Time 20m

Yield 24 mini cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups cooked chicken
1/4 cup Frank's red hot sauce (or to taste)
1/2 cup bleu cheese salad dressing
24 miniature phyllo cups
1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
24 carrot sticks, cut to 1 1/2-inch x 1/8-inch pieces
1 celery rib, cut to 1 1/2-inch x 1/8-inch pieces

  • Cook at 350 for 10-12 minutes, or until warmed through.
  • For the garnish, I use baby carrots, and cut them into 4 or 6 pieces, and the celery I cut to about that same size (~1 1/2 inches long and the thickness of a plastic coffee stirrer).
