Ingredients

• 8 slices White sandwich bread
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 cup Cooked chicken, finely diced
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Frozen peas
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or a little butter.

Step 2

Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread until it is thin and pliable.

Step 3

Brush both sides of each bread slice with the melted butter.

Step 4

Gently press each slice into the wells of the muffin tin, shaping them into cups. Make sure there are no gaps or cracks.

Step 5

Bake the bread cases in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Remove and let cool slightly.

Step 6

In a mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, grated cheddar cheese, heavy cream, frozen peas, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Fill each baked bread case with the chicken mixture, being careful not to overfill.

Step 8

Return the filled bread cases to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the filling is hot and bubbly, and the cheese has melted.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Carefully remove the bread cases from the muffin tin.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley (if using) and serve warm.
