Chicken Artichoke Bites
Description
This recipe for Chicken Artichoke Bites uses delicate phyllo shells as edible cups filled with a savory mix of shredded cooked chicken blended with softened cream cheese for creaminess. Additional ingredients include cooked chopped bacon, drained and chopped canned artichoke hearts, fresh chopped spinach, mayonnaise, shredded smoked gouda and havarti cheeses, minced garlic, onion powder, and a pinch of cayenne for mild heat. After seasoning with salt and pepper, the mixture is spooned into each phyllo shell and topped with remaining bacon pieces, then baked at 350°F until the cheese melts and the phyllo shells turn golden brown and crisp. These bites provide a combination of textures and rich flavors suited for appetizers or party snacks. The recipe allows flexibility in chicken preparation and convenient advance steps with freezing instructions.
Ingredients
- 45 phyllo shells
- 1 cup chicken cooked and shredded
- 2 ounces cream cheese softened
- 6 trips Bacon cooked and chopped, divided
- 7 ounces artichoke hearts drained and chopped, canned
- ½ cup spinach chopped, fresh
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup gouda cheese shredded, smoked
- ½ cup Havarti shredded
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Arrange the phyllo shells on a baking sheet in a single layer. (You may need two baking sheets.)
- Add the shredded chicken and cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
- Add half the bacon, artichokes, spinach, mayo, gouda, havarti, garlic, onion powder, and cayenne pepper to the chicken and mix until thoroughly combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill each phyllo cup with about 2 teaspoons of the chicken mixture. Top each phyllo shell with some bacon.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes until the cheese has melted and the phyllo shells are golden.
- Transfer the chicken artichoke bites to a serving platter before eating warm.
Notes
- Do not stuff phyllo cups more than a day in advance; keep the chicken mixture covered in the refrigerator until ready to fill the shells.
- Fully assembled phyllo cups can be frozen; bake frozen cups for 10 to 15 minutes, slightly longer than fresh.
- Chicken can be pre-cooked by boiling or using rotisserie chicken, then shredded and skin removed before use.
