What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Foodstuff Redefined: Buffalo Chicken Crostini! Take a spicy hot dip, add the buttery texture of avocado, and finish it with the cooling sensation of natural yogurt. Now smile. You’ve just bitten into an appetizer-turned-meal after an exhausting day you’ll soon leave behind. This is how we treat ourselves right. You’re welcome.
BUFFALO CHICKEN CROSTINI
Ingredients:
8 ounces Neufchâtel cheese, softened
4 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup ranch dressing
1 tablespoon dry ranch seasoning mix
3/4 cup red hot sauce
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
3/4 cup extra-sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 avocado, pitted
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/3 cup Greek yogurt
1-2 green onions, snipped
1 baguette loaf, sliced and toasted
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat Neufchâtel cheese, goat cheese, ranch dressing, ranch dry seasoning, and red hot sauce. Fold in chopped chicken. Spread mixture into a prepared casserole dish. Bake 15 minutes. Sprinkle extra-sharp cheddar cheese over top. Bake 15 minutes longer. Meanwhile, using a mini chopper, combine avocado, garlic powder, sea salt, and lemon juice. Pulse until mixture is combined but still chunky. Set aside. To assemble crostini, spread creamed avocado over toasted baguette slices. Add a scoop of Buffalo Chicken dip. Dollop with Greek yogurt. Garnish with onion snips.
Looks and sounds divine.

Wow! All for me? Lol They are looking great, and with goat cheese i am sure they are tasting fantastic. I am ashamed. Now I live closer to France than you do, Gail! Still, I didn’t know the Neufchâtel. But if I’m being honest, then I don’t know many types of cheese at all. Lol You are my guide through the Nouvelle cuisine. Michael
