• salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

• Preheat to 350F

• Add softened cream cheese to chicken and mix thoroughly.
• Add all remaining ingredients, mix thoroughly
• Fill each phyllo cup with the chicken mixture (about 2 teaspoons).
• Bake for 5-8 minutes.
• Tip: If you are making this the day before do not stuff the phyllo cups ahead of time. Cover the chicken mixture and place it in the refrigerator until needed. If you want to make all of it in advance you can stuff the phyllo cups and freeze them with the mixture in them. When you are ready to serve bake them for slightly longer (10-15 minutes).
