Chipotle Chicken Bites with Red Pepper Jelly
Creamy and a touch spicy, these Chipotle Chicken Bites are the perfect appetizer! Serve them warm or at room temperature, with or without a dollop of red pepper jelly for a touch of sweetness and more heat. I've been known to eat these for lunch because I was craving them!
Servings: 12
Equipment
- 1 Mini Muffin Pan
- 1 Small scoop
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Food Chopper
- 1 knife
- 1 cutting board
Ingredients
- 20 Small flour tortillas
- 1 Breast Cooked Chicken Shredded or diced small
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Finely chopped
- 1 Poblano Pepper Finely chopped
- 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 2 Chipotles in Adobo Sauce Chopped, plus more if you like more heat
- 1 Tablespoon Chipotle Seasoning I use Pampered Chef
- 1 Tablespoon Southwest Seasoning I use Pampered Chef
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 jar Red Pepper Jelly Optional but recommended
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- Cut tortillas into 24 rounds using a 2 1/2- 4 inch round cookie cutter. Size will depend on the pan you use. Spray pan with olive oil, then press rounds into wells. Spray rounds. Bake for 7 minutes until edges begin to brown.
- Mix remaining ingredients, except Red Pepper Jelly, in a bowl until combined.
- Using a small scoop, fill the partially baked tortilla rounds to the top of the wells.
- Bake at 375F for 15 - 18 minutes. If you had refrigerated your filling, or you make cupcake sized bites, it will take longer. Remove when tops begin to brown.
- Let cool until you can remove them from the pan. I use the flat plastic side of a Pampered Chef cake tester to remove them from the pan.
- Serve with a dollop of Red Pepper Jelly on top, or allow your guest to choose if they want to add it themselves.
Notes
These can be made into larger bites by using a larger pan. You can also roll them burrito style and air fry them for Chipotle Chicken Rolls. Dip in the Red Pepper Jelly.
They reheat nicely at 350 in the air fryer. They take about 7 -10 minutes to reheat.
Store in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
