Chicken Canapés
Description
These hearty canapés are quite simple and quick to prepare. You can use any cheese — hard cheese, mozzarella, blue cheese, and the like. If you like, you can spread the bread with any white sauce, but do this right before serving so the baguette doesn’t get soggy. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.

Step 2
Heat the skillet, place the baguette in it, and toast it for about 30 seconds on each side—not until it’s like croutons, but lightly.

Step 3
Remove the bread, wipe the skillet clean of any crumbs, and pour in the oil. Slice the fillet lengthwise, season with salt and pepper, and pan-fry for about 5 minutes per side over medium heat until golden and nicely browned.

Step 4
Place the baguette on a cutting board and top each slice of bread with a lettuce leaf. If you plan to serve the canapés immediately after preparing them, you can lightly spread your favorite sauce on the bread.
