Chicken Filling Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cake Batter

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and milk, mixing until just combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken Filling

    In a skillet, sauté onion and garlic until translucent. Add the shredded chicken, spinach, cream cheese, black pepper, and parsley. Stir until the cream cheese is melted and everything is well combined. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Cakes

    Grease a muffin tin or cake pan. Pour a small amount of cake batter into each cup, just enough to cover the bottom. Add a spoonful of the chicken filling on top, then cover with more cake batter until the cups are filled about ¾ full.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve warm and enjoy your Chicken & Leaf Cakes!
