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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN CUPS

A fun way to serve buffalo chicken in bite-sized cups! I made these after thinking about what a hit buffalo chicken is with my guests, but wanting to keep it a little less messy to eat during the big games. They were a hit, so I thought I'd share :) This is especially fast and easy if you already have some cooked chicken on hand to shred and use. Note - if you like bleu cheese with your buffalo chicken, feel free to sub in bleu cheese dressing instead of ranch, or bleu cheese instead of the cheddar. We're just not bleu cheese fans around here ;)

BUFFALO CHICKEN PHYLLO CUPS



BUFFALO CHICKEN PHYLLO CUPS image

ALL THE BASICS OF A GREAT BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP IN A CRISPY, HAND HELD POPPABLE CUP! NO NEED FOR CHIPS!

Provided by Michelle Wolf

Categories     Other Appetizers

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4-6 bonless chicken breasts cooked and chopped-or-2 cans drained chunk chicken
1 pkg softened cream cheese
1/4 c hot sauce
1/4 c blue cheese dressing
1/2 c blue cheese crumbles-for topping
1/4 c monteray jack or pepper jack cheese
2 pkg pre made phyllo cups
2 Tbsp finely diced celery if desired

Steps:

  • 1. Pre heat oven to temp recommended on phyllo dough cups. Line phyllo cups in a disposable tin baking dish or on a deep cookie tray
  • 2. Mix all ingredients except blue cheese crumbles. Celery is optional in the mix but adds a nice crunch-and goes so well with buffalo & blue cheese! Fill each phyllo cup with mixture to 3/4 high.
  • 3. Bake about 30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Remove from oven-add blue cheese crumbles. Return to oven just to soften blue cheese. Serve warm!

Tips:

  • Prep the chicken beforehand: To save time, you can cook and shred the chicken ahead of time. This way, you can quickly assemble the phyllo cups when you're ready to serve them.
  • Use a food processor to shred the chicken: This is the quickest and easiest way to shred the chicken. You can also use two forks to shred the chicken, but it will take a little longer.
  • Don't overfill the phyllo cups: The cups should be filled about 2/3 full. If you overfill them, the filling will spill out when you bake them.
  • Bake the phyllo cups until they're golden brown: This will ensure that the cups are crispy and the filling is hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Buffalo chicken phyllo cups are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're crispy, flavorful, and sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give these buffalo chicken phyllo cups a try. You won't be disappointed!
