Ingredients
Scale
Phyllo Cups
- 30 pre-baked phyllo cups (2 packs, 1.9 ounces each)
Filling
- 1 cup shredded chicken
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ⅓ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons minced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the phyllo cups evenly.
- Arrange phyllo cups: Place the pre-baked phyllo cups on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and facilitate even baking.
- Prepare the filling: In a medium mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, buffalo sauce, and minced green onions. Mix until smooth and uniform with no visible chunks of cream cheese.
- Fill the cups: Spoon the prepared buffalo chicken mixture evenly into each phyllo cup, filling them generously but without overflowing.
- Bake: Bake the filled phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and heated through.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cups cool for 3-4 minutes on the tray before serving to allow the filling to set slightly for easier handling.
Notes
- You can substitute shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Adjust the amount of buffalo sauce based on your desired spice level.
- For a milder version, use ranch dressing instead of buffalo sauce.
- These cups are best enjoyed warm, but can be made ahead and reheated.
- If you want extra crispiness, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes but watch closely to prevent burning.
