Buffalo Chicken Tapas

So this recipe came about as I had been preparing different tapas from a book I got for Christmas. I wanted something buffalo-y but also cheesy. So I cut up some French bread and made these delicious little half sandwich tapas. YUM.

Ingredients:
1 loaf French bread, sliced into 1 inch thick slices
1 pkg frozen chicken bites or chicken fingers, cooked & cut into small pieces
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup shredded Mexican or Colby jack cheese
Buffalo sauce
Ranch




Directions:
1. Cook the frozen chicken fingers according to package directions, let cool; Raise oven to 400º
2. While the chicken is baking, Slice your baguette into 1 inch slices and place on a cookie sheet
3. Cut the chicken into small bite sized pieces (about 1 inch) Place on top of the bread slices
4. Drizzle the buffalo sauce over the chicken and bread

 Repeat the drizzle with the ranch dressing

5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top (I only had string cheese, so I cut it into shreds)

6. Do the same with the Mexican/cheddar/colby jack (pepperjack would work, too!)

7. Bake at 400º for 10-15 mins or until the cheese is melted and bubbly

These are a go-to for an easy dinner or a tail-gate party because you can prepare the chicken in advance! It's also a good way to use your bread before it goes bad (which was the case for me). Enjoy!
