Baked Deli Chicken Cups with Mushrooms and Cheese

These were really easy to make, although messy to eat and a little drippy. I'm going to experiment with ways to make that less the case. Either way, they were yummy!

Ingredients:

3 slices of deli chicken (or turkey)

5 mushrooms, sliced

1/4 - 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

3 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

generous pinch of salt and pepper

you'll also need:

muffin tin

small non-stick frying pan

cooking spray

1. preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray the muffin tin with cooking spray where you will be using it.

2. put one slice of deli chicken into each muffin cup, trying as much as possible not to tear it, so that it forms a little meat bowl.

3. spray the frying pan with cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook the mushrooms with the salt and pepper until they are shrunken and tender. Spoon the mushrooms evenly into the chicken cups.

4. mix the cheddar and Parmesan cheese together and top the mushrooms with it, making sure the toppings are contained within the sides of the chicken cups.

5. bake the cups for 10 - 15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly.

6. when done, remove them from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then remove them (I just scooped mine out with a spoon). Eat and enjoy while still warm!
