Gorgeous Crispy chicken fillets go so beautifully with this Chilli Philly on a toasted bagel. Give them a try!
Supported by Philadelphia Australia
This is the third recipe in a series I have done for Philadelphia Cream cheese spreadables. It’s been very enjoyable for me because I got stuck on making Cheesecakes with Philadelphia and it turns out there’s another whole world out there. I hadn’t realized PHILLY was so versatile. I’ve covered breakfast with this Banana, date and maple bacon bagel with PHILLY and then I moved onto brunch. How I love brunch, it usually means a sleep in for me and then something like this Creamy PHILLY, Strawberry Chia Jam and Cocoa bliss Bomb bagel . So next on my list is lunch.
Would you be pleased if I offered you this Crispy Chicken and Sweet Chilly PHILLY Bagel for lunch?. I am guessing you would. I know that if I had the chance to eat this all over again I’d like it. This is a Crispy toasted bagel with Sweet Chilly PHILLY infused with spicy gorgeous flavour notes and a very lively coleslaw.
I prepared all of the ingredients for this bagel, then we sat outside in the weak winter sunshine and ate them. No flies and no creepy crawlies to annoy us, just the beautiful rustling leaves of a big Fig tree and lots of crunching. First I made a dressing and set it aside for the coleslaw, then picked some coriander before opening the container of PHILLY. It has a layer of sauce that can be used as is, but I mixed the sauce through the cheese. It’s probably not the sort of thing I would usually make but once I had mixed it, it became an incredibly delicious spread that just went with all the other flavours. I cooked the chicken last so it would be warm. This is heavenly food that you could also take to work with you……if you had to. I’d prefer to savour it on the weekend.
I hope you give this a try for lunch or a snack. Oh and why not add some corn chips into the mix they add extra crunch to this bagel. I love a chip and PHILLY bagel. ( Don’t tell anyone)

A bagel is such a natural fit for cream cheese-I can’t imagine eating a bagel without it! 🙂
