Ingredients
  

1 cup shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works great)

1/2 cup buffalo sauce (adjust based on your spice preference)

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (optional for that classic flavor)

1 loaf of mini baguette or French bread

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure that your bites bake evenly and gain that delicious golden color.

    Prepare the Chicken Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, buffalo sauce, cream cheese, and sharp cheddar cheese. If you're using blue cheese, add it now as well. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the chicken is evenly coated.

      Prepare the Bread: Take the mini baguette or French bread and slice it into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 2 inches thick. Lay the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

        Butter the Bread: In a small bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Using a pastry brush, generously apply the butter mixture over the cut sides of each piece of bread, ensuring they are well coated for flavor and to achieve a crispy texture.

          Fill with Chicken Mixture: Using a spoon, generously pile the buffalo chicken mixture onto each piece of bread. Make sure each bite is heaped with this flavorful topping to maximize taste.

            Bake the Bites: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Keep an eye on them and remove the bites when the edges of the bread are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

              Garnish and Serve: Once baked, take the bites out of the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet. Before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped green onions for a burst of color and added flavor.

                Enjoy: Serve these scrumptious mini buffalo chicken bread bites warm as an irresistible appetizer or a tasty snack for game day gatherings!
