Chicken Salad Bites: Perfect for All Your Summer Events!

Sharing is caring!

Summertime is a time for gathering with friends and family, and having cookouts, picnics, and potlucks! If you need an easy, crowd-pleasing dish to bring to social events this summer, these chicken salad bites are for you!

This yummy, festive appetizer is surprisingly budget-friendly and requires minimal prep time.   Even though they are perfect party food, these chicken salad bites are so easy that you can throw them together anytime you want!

How to Make Chicken Salad Bites

First, you’ll need to whip up your chicken salad. We all have our own favorite recipe for this classic cold dish. Some people like to add fruit and nuts. Others adore sweet pickles and onions. My version includes the addition of pepperoncini. This mild, Italian pepper adds some freshness and textural diversity to the salad.

I also use canned chicken (quick and easy), mayonnaise, and Mrs. Dash sodium-free seasoning. The result is a simple, refreshing chicken salad that is perfect for summertime! If you’d prefer to grill or roast your own chicken for some extra flavor, that’s fine too!

Chop up your pepperoncini into very small pieces. Next, drain your canned chicken (if you’re using canned chicken) as you don’t want it to be soupy.

Combine all of the chicken salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Mix it well! At this point, you can taste the chicken salad and adjust it according to your personal preference.

All that’s left is presentation! Using a small spoon, scoop a little bit of chicken salad into miniature phyllo shells. Since the shells come pre-baked, that’s all you have to do! It could not be more simple!
