Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry
1 cup finely chopped cooked chicken
1/4 cup barbecue sauce + more for drizzling after cooking
1 tbsp sour cream
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup diced red onion
2 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
Slightly roll out puff pastry with a rolling pin. Cut into 12 squares. Nestle into mini muffin tins. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes.
While the puff pastry cooks, add chicken, 1/4 cup barbecue sauce, and sour cream to a small bowl. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Pull the puff pastry out after cooking 8 minutes in the oven. Use a teaspoon to push the puff pastry down on the bottom and around the sides, creating a hollow area for the chicken to go in. Evenly divide the chicken between the puff pastry. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake another 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the puff pastry is golden brown.
Remove bites from muffin tin, drizzle with a little bit more barbecue sauce. Sprinkle with onion and cilantro. Serve. (Best served warm but still great at room temperature.)
