Velvety Chicken Toast Bites
Creamy chicken spread served on crispy toast bites, perfect for parties or snacks.
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded
- ½ cup cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 12 slices of baguette or any crusty bread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the baguette slices with olive oil on both sides. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Make the Chicken Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Toast Bites: Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Optional Garnish: For extra flair, garnish with additional parsley or a sprinkle of smoked paprika.
- Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the bites on a platter and serve immediately.
Notes
If making ahead, store the chicken mixture separately and assemble the bites just before serving to maintain the toast’s crispness.
