Chicken and Brie Crostini

Manitoba Chicken Producers
A great appetizer idea for your next get together. For a gluten free alternative try serving the chicken and brie on Cortland apple slices instead of the bread. Cortland apples are a great baking apple as they don’t break down or brown quickly.

Chicken and Brie Crostini
1
Brush chicken breasts with oil and season with salt and pepper.
2
Grill chicken breasts until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest piece reads 165°F (74°C) – about 5-7 minutes on each side. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice chicken on the diagonal into 1/4 inch slices and set aside. This step can be done up to 24 hours ahead – refrigerate chicken until needed.
3
Slice baguette on the diagonal into 1/2 inch slices. Grill or toast slices until golden brown. Arrange on a large cookie sheet or two smaller cookie sheets, allowing for a little space between toasts.
4
Rub one side of each toast with the garlic and spread with a little of the mayonnaise. Top with a few arugula leaves. Top with one or two chicken slices (depending on size).
5
Slice brie into thin slices (approx 1/6 inch thick), leaving rind on. Place brie slices on top of chicken.
6
Place chicken brie crostini under broiler for 5-7 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbling. Transfer crostini to a serving platter; top with a spoonful of fruit preserve and garnish with thyme sprigs. Serve warm.
Notes: For a lunch or light dinner, use a French bread loaf instead of a baguette. Follow all the same steps adjusting the amount of chicken and brie to fit larger toasts. Serve with a salad.

Mango Chutney or salsa can be used instead of a fruit preserve.
