ROASTED CHICKEN AND BRIE HOLLY MINI BITES

Roasted Chicken and Brie Holly Mini Bites image

I got the idea for these appetizers from my favorite sandwich at a local restaurant-a symphony of sweet fig, roasted apple, melted brie and tangy garlic mayonnaise. I re-created this delectable combination in a quick appetizer with bright red cranberries and green spinach to give it a holiday twist. These scrumptious bites only take about 20 minutes, but taste like you spent hours; you can also make them a few days in advance, then warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving. They're the perfect party appetizer! -Terri Gilson, Calgary, Alberta
