Thai Chicken Salad Appetizer

A simple appetizer that will impress your guests! 

It’s Finger Food Friday! I was super excited to give this appetizer a try. Thai food is a love of mine.

The Thai Chicken Salad Appetizer recipe was simple to make and tasted great. The only complaint I had was about the pie crust it sits on. On taste only, the pie crust was AMAZING. But it wasn’t very sturdy.

So with one bite into the appetizer, the pasty fell apart, leaving you with a hand full of chicken (or in our case, chickenless chicken 🙂 Next time I might double up the crusts.

The chicken mixture would also taste great any crackers, toasted bread or even cucumber slices! Hope you enjoy!
