Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, finely shredded
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh onion
- 1 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Party rye bread (sliced into bite-sized pieces)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to broil, ensuring it’s well-heated before you begin. This high heat is key to achieving the perfect crispy topping on your canapés.
-
Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the finely shredded chicken with the mayonnaise. Stir in the fresh onion and green chili, mixing thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly. Finally, fold in the shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring it is well incorporated into the mixture.
-
Assemble the Canapés: Place the party rye bread slices on a baking sheet or broiler pan. Spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture onto each slice, spreading it out evenly.
-
Broil to Perfection: Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil the canapés for about 5 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid burning.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove the canapés from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.
