Arepa Canapes Ingredients

Method

Arepa Canapes Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Arepas

    In a large bowl, mix the arepa dough with water according to package instructions until a smooth, pliable dough forms. Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into disks about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Cook the Arepas

    Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the arepas for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Make the Chicken Salad

    In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped celery, red onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Canapes

    Slice the cooked arepas in half horizontally to create a pocket. Fill each half with a generous spoonful of chicken salad. Top with sliced avocado and garnish with fresh cilantro.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Arrange the arepa canapes on a serving platter and serve immediately.
