BBQ Chicken Puffs

I made this recipe up when I didn’t have enough time to run to the store. I just used leftover shredded barbeque chicken, some puff pastry, and other ingredients that I had in my kitchen. These were a hit at the party and the first appetizer to go!

Step: 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a miniature muffin tin.

Step: 2

Cut puff pastry along the creases into 3 separate rectangles. Place onto a lightly floured surface. Roll 1 rectangle to 1/8-inch thickness using a lightly floured rolling pin. Cut pastry into 8 circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with the other 2 rectangles.

Step: 3

Press pastry circles into the greased muffin cups. Place 1 square of cream cheese in the bottom of each cup.

Step: 4

Mix shredded chicken, barbeque sauce, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl. Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the mixture into each cup until level with the top of the cup.

Step: 5

Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is golden brown and filling is heated through, 20 to 25 minutes. Spoon 1 teaspoon Cheddar cheese on top of each pastry 3 minutes before removing from oven.

The most obvious way to choose a side dish is to look at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and choose more different. When you’re cooking pasta, go for a simple vegetable . Making steak? Go for something light. If you’re making stir-fry with rice, it must not a best idea to adjust with make a rice salad.

One make sure is also can make to cooking process . You don’t want to push more often your oven by making to do list three dishes at once in there, or be rounding four pans on the cooking items . But often you can made a dish do more often .
