What is a phyllo cup? Just about the cutest little edible appetizer holder, which make these Chicken Mini Phyllo Cups a delicious petite appetizer with a thai flare.
I am so in love with phyllo cups, they turn whatever your making into something so elegant and delightful to eat all on their own. They have this amazing soft, flaky shell perfect for a lite appetizer. You can put anything in these adorable mini shells and it turns something ordinary into something extraordinary. That is why when I made these Chicken Mini Phyllo Cups for a get together at my church people could not get enough of them.
But, whatch out, before you know it you have consumed so many, you may skip dinner and go right into dessert. I love quick and easy ideas, and these Chicken Mini Phyllo Cups are quick, easy, fast, and delicious. They make a lot so if you are having a lot of family and friends over for Thanksgiving or College Game Day Saturday you will be able to whip these up and have plenty to go around.
Chicken Mini Phyllo Cups are a healthy option when it comes to appetizers, but they don’t compromise on taste and satisfaction. Mini phyllo cups make the perfect presentation for all things delicious placed inside. So for your next big “thang” go mini in size and large in flavor with these Chicken Mini Phyllo Cups. xoxo

I am going to try these for a baby shower I am attending next weekend. Are they served hot or cool?
