Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 cup Cooked chicken, finely diced
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Frozen peas
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or a little butter.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it is thin and pliable.
Brush both sides of each bread slice with the melted butter.
Gently press each slice into the wells of the muffin tin, shaping them into cups. Make sure there are no gaps or cracks.
Bake the bread cases in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Remove and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, grated cheddar cheese, heavy cream, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Fill each baked bread case with the chicken mixture, being careful not to overfill.
Return the filled bread cases to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly, and the cheese has melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the bread cases from the muffin tin.
Garnish with chopped parsley (if using) and serve warm.
