Chicken Artichoke Bites
Chicken Artichoke Bites are small phyllo shells filled with a creamy mixture of shredded chicken, cream cheese, bacon, artichoke hearts, spinach, mayonnaise, and two types of cheese — smoked gouda and havarti. Seasoned with garlic, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper, these bites bake briefly until golden and melty, offering a savory, rich appetizer with a crisp phyllo shell and a flavorful, creamy filling.
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.
