Mexican-Inspired Chicken Tortilla Soup

Buffalo Blue Cheese Deviled Chicken



Ingredients:


  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken works well)

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)

  • 1/4 cup buffalo sauce (adjust for spice level)

  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • 1 stalk celery, finely chopped

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

  • Optional: Mini bread rolls, celery sticks, or crackers for serving


Instructions:


  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • If you don’t have pre-cooked shredded chicken, boil or bake 2 chicken breasts, then shred them using two forks.


  2. Make the Filling:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, buffalo sauce, crumbled blue cheese, and mayonnaise (if using).

    • Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated and the mixture is creamy. Adjust the buffalo sauce to your preferred spice level.


  3. Add Celery:

    • Fold in the finely chopped celery for a crunchy texture and fresh flavor.


  4. Assemble:


    • Option 1: Hollow out mini bread rolls and fill them with the chicken mixture for a hearty appetizer.


    • Option 2: Stuff the mixture into celery sticks for a low-carb option.


    • Option 3: Serve the mixture on crackers or toasted baguette slices.


  5. Garnish:

    • Sprinkle the top with chopped chives for a fresh, onion-like flavor and a pop of color.


  6. Serve:


    • Serve immediately as an appetizer or snack. Pair with extra buffalo sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.


Tips:

  • For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of blue cheese or substitute it with feta.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cream cheese and buffalo sauce before mixing with the chicken.
  • This recipe can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
