How to make Chicken and Mushroom Phyllo Appetizers

The first thing you’ll want to do is sauté the chopped mushrooms in a greased skillet over medium-high heat.
Then, in a bowl combine the sautéed mushrooms, shredded chicken, mozzarella cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper.
Now place the phyllo cups on a baking sheet and fill them with the chicken mixture. Lastly, bake at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.

Where to buy phyllo dough

Most grocery stores carry them, I get mine from Safeway. You will find phyllo shells located in the frozen pastries and pies section of the grocery store.

What are Phyllo Cups

Phyllo cups are made of thin sheets of phyllo dough compacted into prebaked shells. This phyllo dough is typically made of flour, water, and oil. The best about these bit size shells is that they are already baked so nothing here is raw or uncooked. Talk about a time saver?!

Can I substitute the mayonnaise in these chicken appetizers?

My favorite substitute for mayonnaise is greek yogurt. You can also use sour cream if you’d like.

Can I Make these chicken and mushroom phyllo cups ahead of time?

Sure thing! You can either make the chicken filling in advance and keep it covered in the refrigerator until ready to fill the shells. Or you can bake them completely and serve them at room temperature a few hours later.
