So the other day, I was treated to a gorgeous stoneware le creuset deviled egg platter – BUT I’m not much of a deviled egg fan. SO I decided to get those creative juices flowing – and sometimes when that happens, magic follows!
I wanted to use my fancy new egg platter, but I didn’t want to use eggs. So I looked in my fridge, saw what I had to work with and went to work!
I started off with a crust I had in the fridge. I was going to use it to make a quiche, but thought this would be more fun. I searched around for something that I could use to get the shape of the eggs on the tray and found a mini butter dish that did the trick!
Now – what’s going in here?
The answer is pretty much anything!
I decided before then to cook 2 chicken breasts in the oven, seasoned with salt and pepper – I baked them at 350* for 25 minutes. Earlier I had also baked 2 potatoes in the oven for 50 minutes at 400*, seasoned them with salt and pepper and then mashed them with some butter and milk and set aside. 
I mixed the chicken and potato together, added in 1/2 of a sliced red pepper and 1/4 of an onion. I also then seasoned everything with Frank’s Red Hot, because it’s the bomb. dot. com.
I didn’t put too much in because I wanted to share with the littles and didn’t want to knock their socks off too much, but I did a good drizzle. If the littles weren’t involved I would have put more, but it definitely gave it flavor!
Topped it all off with a sprinkling of cheese for good measure and into the oven at 350* for about 15 minutes it went.
Everything heated up and the cheese melted so then you are pretty much good to go!
I topped it all off with some Stonyfield greek yogurt for some cooling taste as well as a pinch of green onions for another little kick. We had neighbors over when I made these and it was the perfect little appetizer treat to put out for everyone to enjoy – and these got a great response!
I loved making these as much as I loved eating these. When you plan ahead with the potatoes and chicken, it made the prep pretty minimal – but really the opportunities to really make this little cup your own with whatever protein, vegetable and seasoning or sauce that you want! Yum!
