I have served this at so many parties over the years I have lost count. These small chicken salad bites are perfect for so many occasions and not so much of a commitment like a full size sandwich would be, but you definitely can serve this as a full size sandwich and great on a croissant or mini croissant. These perfect little bites are great served at cocktail parties, showers or tea parties and so tasty. You can make the salad a day before and right before the guests arrive, scoop it into the phyllo cups and they are ready to serve, yes it’s that simple. This sweet & savory chicken salad has a great crunch from the pecans and celery with a fresh note from orange, now this is a recipe for a party!
Remember to hold that pinky out when sipping your tea…
Crunchy phyllo cups filled with this luscious chicken salad makes for a fabulous party!
