Steps

Prepare Chicken

Heat a skillet over medium heat with olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked through and golden brown. Remove from skillet, let cool slightly, then shred or dice into small pieces.

Make Filling

In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with cream cheese, chopped chives, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well until creamy and evenly combined.

Prepare Baguette

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Slice the mini baguettes into approximately 2-3 cm (1 inch) thick rounds. Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Assemble and Bake

Spoon a generous amount of the chicken filling onto each baguette slice, then sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the baguette is crispy. Serve immediately.

Extra Tips

► You can cook or roast the chicken in advance to make the bites even quicker to prepare.

► Experiment with other cheeses like mozzarella or provolone for a different flavor profile.

► Sprinkle with fresh parsley or extra chives before serving for an even more appealing look.
