Chicken Caesar bites are a great balance between warm and crispy; light and flavorful. They’ll hold your guests over and you’ll look like an hors d’oeuvres artist.

Ingredients

  • 5 oz. shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups finely chopped cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup arugula, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Caesar dressing (creamy works best)
  • 2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp. crushed Parmesan pita chips
  • Parchment paper

Methods/steps

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Spoon rounded teaspoonfuls of Parmesan cheese into small mounds, one inch apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  3. Bake Parmesan 10-20 minutes or until cheese is melted, bubbling, and a golden-brown. In a bowl, stir chicken, arugula, and dressing together and add ground pepper to taste.
  4. Scoop this mixture onto finished Parmesan rounds.
  5. Sprinkle crushed pita chips over the top. Super easy!
