If you are planning for a party or expecting some guests, try out Chicken & Egg Cups : Simple Appetizer. I bet they would enjoy them.

Today is a lazy Sunday for me, got up late, so my whole daily schedule was a mess.  I didn’t wanted to cook much today .  Morning flew by just like that and was thinking about what to cook for lunch. Since every Sunday we do heavy Indian breakfast, we try to eat less for lunch. I had chicken breasts in the freezer and had to finish my tortilla flour.

  My son always wants some fancy lunch or dinner rather then our traditional fish curry rice. So, I thought of making chicken egg cups. I have prepared this recipe in many different ways earlier. These cups tastes yum any how you prepare. If you want to prepare in Indian style, you can fill in the Chicken, sauted in Indian spices like what we use for butter chicken, or chicken tandoori. You can prepare in Chinese style by adding soy sauce along with other spices . I always want to be innovative whenever I cook something, so keep altering my recipe and try different flavors.  Same recipe can be prepared in vegetarian style by adding mushrooms ,tofu or paneer instead of chicken and add cheese instead of eggs.

You can serve them as an appetizers or as lunch as a whole along with some veggies on the sides.
