Sausage and Chicken Crostini with Sour Cream and Chives
The main part of this dish can be made well in advance and kept in the fridge until your guests arrive. The chicken adds a velvety, mousse-like consistency to these bites and the zesty sour cream cuts through the spiced sausage. It’s a winner.

Ingredients
- 1 pinch Black Pepper
- 1 - Chicken Breast chopped
- 1 - Lemon zest and juice
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 - SuperValu Baguette
- 2 tbsp SuperValu Fresh Chives chopped
- 50 g SuperValu Fresh Parsley chopped
- 350 g SuperValu Sausages skins removed
- 100 ml SuperValu Sour Cream
Method
*This recipe serves 8-10.
1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5.
2. Cut the baguette into 5mm-thick slices. Brush with the olive oil and place on a baking tray, then bake in the oven for a few minutes, until they’re crisp and starting to turn golden. Allow to cool. (This step can be done well in advance.)
3. Increase the oven temperature to 220°C/gas mark 7.
4. Place the chicken breast in a food processor and blitz into a smooth paste, then add the sausage, parsley and a pinch of salt and pepper and blitz again. (This mixture can also be prepared well in advance and kept in the fridge.)
5. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the sausage and chicken mix onto each crispy baguette slice, ensuring it goes right to the edges of the bread. Place the crostini on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, then grill on the top shelf for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, mix the sour cream with the lemon zest and season with salt and pepper. If you like, you could add a little lemon juice too for extra lemony flavour.
7. Finish the hot crostini by topping with a teaspoon of the zesty sour cream. Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve.
