Hot Chicken Appetizers image

I had to prepare something to take to a party tonight, and after working all day, I had no ideas. This is what I threw together, and it got such good reviews, I figured I'd best write it down. Enjoy! (Measurements are approximate, since I wasn't measuring when I made it. Adjust to suit your taste.)

Categories     Poultry Appetizers

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 puff pastry sheet, thawed
1 Tbsp butter
1/3 c onion, finely chopped
12 cherry tomatoes, chopped
3/4 c baby spinach, chopped
3 clove garlic, minced
8 oz cream cheese
1 can(s) chicken, drained and chopped (13 ounce can)
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions and tomatoes and cook until onions are translucent. Reduce heat and stir in spinach and garlic.
  • 2. Cut cream cheese into small chunks and add to saucepan. Stir until well mixed and smooth.
  • 3. Add chicken to saucepan and stir until all ingredients are incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • 4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place three mini muffin pans on a large cookie sheet. (This is to make them easier to get in and out of the oven - not completely necessary)
  • 5. Unfold puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface and roll to about half original thickness. Be sure to use enough flour to keep the pastry from sticking, but don't overdo it!
  • 6. Using a 2" biscuit cutter, cut pastry into circles. Press one circle into the bottom of each section of mini muffin pans. The pastry should extend only about half-way up the side of the sections.
  • 7. Place about 1 tablespoon of chicken filling into each pastry lined muffin section. Filling should pile up in the middle, leaving the edges of the pastry exposed.
  • 8. Lightly sprinkle the filling with parmesan cheese, then bake for 30 minutes. Serve hot. Makes about 36 appetizers.

This was a great appetizer for my Super Bowl party. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was delicious. I would definitely make it again.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I usually double the recipe because it goes so fast.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and spicy. I served it with ranch dressing and it was a perfect combination.

The chicken was a bit dry for my taste, but the sauce was amazing. I'll try it again with bone-in chicken breasts to see if that makes a difference.

This was so easy to make and turned out delicious! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat.

I tried this recipe for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone loved the chicken and kept asking for the recipe. I'll definitely be making it again.
