These crisp, cheesy melts look special and taste great! On busy weeknights, I like to serve these with a salad for a satisfying meal. But they make hearty appetizers as well, notes Sandra Futros of Dugald, Manitoba. Ingredients:
1-1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 pound medium fresh mushrooms, quartered |
1 tablespoon canola oil |
1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
16 slices french bread (1 inch thick) |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook chicken and mushrooms in oil for 5 minutes. Stir in soy sauce; cook 7 minutes longer. Stir in cream; cook for 4-6 minutes or until sauce is thickened (do not boil).
2. In a small bowl, combine butter and garlic; spread over bread. Place buttered side up on an ungreased baking sheet. Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 2-3 minutes.
3. Top each slice with 1/4 cup chicken mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil for 1-2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Yield: 16 appetizers.
