Chicken filling for making a variety of exciting snacks…
Let’s make cooking easier during Ramadan. For Iftar, everyone likes to enjoy some kind of snack, especially kids. Making everything from scratch every day can be tiresome, but if we plan ahead, cooking becomes easier.
I’ve already shared a collection of snacks that you can make during Ramadan. There are some chicken snacks that use the same chicken filling, but the outcomes will look different.
Below is the recipe for making the chicken filling. You can double or triple the amount, store it in an airtight container, and keep it refrigerated for a week. Alternatively, you can store small portions in separate Ziploc bags and freeze them for a month.
You can use the same chicken filling to make all the below snacks.
Here is the chicken filling
