Chicken Cheese Sticks

Chicken Cheese Sticks

Chicken cheese sticks is a very crisp and tasty snack that is made from cooked chicken mince and cream cheese. This is one of my favourite appetizers to cook as it requires very less preparation time and quite a few ingredients. I happened to have this snack from my aunts home, from where I collected the recipe and since then I have tried this many times especially during Ramadan. Do try this family favourite of mine and let me know how you loved it.
