Take-out Tuesday, Chicken Cordon Bleu Cupcakes

Here’s a fun and tasty appetizer bite that makes a great presentation
and is very easy to make

These savory little “cupcakes” are actually made with a biscuit bottom

They are filled with chive cream cheese,
topped with a chicken nugget wrapped in ham
and covered with Swiss cheese

Yes, please!

Swiss cheese, deli ham, regular size canned biscuits,
whipped chive cream cheese, and chicken nuggets

Separate the biscuit in half horizontally
Hold the biscuit and gently pull it apart with your fingers
and place each half into a sprayed mini muffin pan,
pushing down the center forming a mini pie shell

Place chive cream cheese into the bottom of the biscuit
Wrap each chicken nugget with a strip of ham
and place them on top of the cream cheese

Place a square of cheese on top

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-17 minutes, until dough is golden

Pop the cupcakes out of the pan, and serve immediately
with Honey Mustard dressing for dipping

Variations:
You can use leftover cooked chicken pieces,
rotisserie chicken pieces, grilled chicken nuggets
You can substitute mayonnaise, honey mustard,
or a little Alfredo sauce for the cream cheese
You can substitute cooked bacon for ham
You can use Gruyère, Manchego instead of Swiss
