3. Stir the chopped white and pale green parts of the green onions into the chicken mixture.

4. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups and press it down firmly.

6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden and heated through to 165°F (74°C) in the center.

7. While the bites bake, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled blue cheese, finely diced red onion and chopped cilantro in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper and refrigerate until serving.

8. Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges with a knife and lift them out.
