If you are having friends over to watch the Big Game (or really for any reason at all) check out this amazing recipe. I took these to a dinner with some girlfriends and they gobbled them right up.
Buffalo Chicken Open Faced Mini Pies make a delicious meal or an amazing appetizer! Super easy to make with a buttery shell and creamy texture.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 2 stalks celery, cut into small pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (mine was room temperature and worked fine)
- 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls, 8 in each
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 cup ranch or blue cheese if you want to mix it right in
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl mix together the chicken, celery, garlic powder, cream cheese, buffalo wing sauce and salt and pepper (and dressing if you like). Put this bowl aside.
- Spray the bottom of a muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Use the crescent rolls to create a shell in the individual muffin holes (see the picture above).
- Fill the shells with the chicken mixture and put in pre-heated oven.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
This should make about 12 of these. When I made them I added the Ranch and it gave it a nice kick. I know lots of people aren’t crazy about Bleu Cheese so I left it on the side.
