Cheesy Chicken Cups

Okay..so these little guys are pretty stinkin' good. They are prefect little appetizers but you could make them for dinner, too. I used won-ton wrappers which made them nice and crunchy but using puff pastry would be marvy! And if you get the pre-made puff pasty shells, then that would be even easier! The filling is really tasty and could be used with just about anything. Try biscuits! Throw some of the filling in a little casserole dish and top with a flaky biscuit! How good would THAT be?
