Instructions
Bake the phyllo cups and let them cool before filling them with the chicken salad.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar, together in a large bowl.
- Add the drained cans of chicken, celery, onion, craisins, parsley and pecans to the bowl.
- Mix all ingredients until they are incorporated into the curry mayo.
- Spoon the Curry Chicken Salad into the 24 Phyllo Cups. Garnish with more chopped fresh parsley and serve.
Substitutions
- Leftover Chicken or Turkey - Use shredded chicken or leftover cooked chicken and turkey to make this delicious appetizer.
- No Curry - Replace the curry in the recipe with 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard and 2 tablespoons of sweet relish.
- Puff Pastry Cups - Make Mini Puff Pastry cups instead of the Phyllo Cups
Storage
Store any remaining Curry Chicken Salad Phyllo Cups in an airtight container. Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, keeping in mind that the phyllo cups might soften up as the filling sits in them. Make the Curry Chicken Salad in advance and store by itself for a couple days and use in sandwiches, or on crostini.
