Wow, what a week! Ice storm on Sunday morning (1/4″ of ice) that lead to thunderstorms Sunday night / Monday morning. Record High of 56 degrees on Monday, awesome…..melted all of the ice. Then surprise snowstorm that dumped 6″ of snow on Tuesday and it is now a whopping 5 degrees, not factoring in the windchill. I think Mother Nature might be upset, what do you think?

Here we go, my final savory recipe submission for the mini fillo shells contest…..Chicken Enchilada Bites. Choose whatever sauce you would like, purchased or homemade, and top with any of your favorite toppings. I was limited to 5 ingredients for the contest, so I went with chicken, cheese, enchilada sauce, fillo shells, and green onions {which I forgot when I took the new photos}…..

They are incredibly easy to make, which makes them perfect for an impromptu dinner party or on game day!

How to make Chicken Enchilada Bites:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix chicken and enchilada sauce together in a small bowl…..

Fill fillo shells with 1 teaspoon of chicken mixture…..

Sprinkle shredded cheese over bites and place on a silpat/parchment paper lined baking sheet…..

Bake for 5 minutes to melt cheese. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve…..
