    Have you ever tried fillo shells? If you haven't you should, they are a lot of fun. They are perfect for one bite foods, and the crispy shell adds a crunch and some texture. If you have ever made baklava you know how time consuming buttering each and every layer is. Athens has created these cute little shells that require no prep work at all!

    I still had barbecue chicken pizza on the brain, and decided to try it out in a fillo shell instead of a pizza crust. They are awesome, and you can't beat 15 minutes start to finish.

    How to make Barbecue Chicken Bites:

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    Chop chicken into small pieces and mix with the barbecue sauce in a small bowl.

    Fill each shell with about 1 teaspoon of chicken mixture.

    Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone liner.

    Top with shredded cheese. Bake for 5 - 6 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

    Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
