I love little appetizers that actually have some substance to them. Chicken, cheese and peppers on a little baguette with a creamy sauce are the perfect bite full of flavor. I made these last weekend for a BBQ I had. They went so fast I couldn't replace them face enough.
So easy to make with the simplest ingredients. Chicken, peppers, cheese and some fresh bread. Baked for only 10 minutes they are ready in a jiffy which is because I promise you wont be able to keep the plate full fast enough.
You can change up this recipe if you like as well. It would be just as good with ground beef almost like a nacho on a baguette. You can also make them vegetarian as well. They really are endless possibilities.
