Chicken Cigar Wraps With Paprika Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken cigars: Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Place chicken in a bowl and mix with spices and parsley. (I actually used my food processor to shred/chop chicken and mix in the spices and it worked nicely--use it to chop the parsley first and then add other ingredients).
• Place a piece of phyllo on a nonstick cookie sheet and brush with some of the melted butter. Repeat 3 more times, placing each of phyllo over the last buttered sheet to make 4 layers. Cut layered phyllo into 16 rectangles (4 x 4).
• On one end of each of the rectangles, place a heaping tablespoon of chicken filling. Roll up tightly to make mini "cigars". Cut each of these in half and place on a cookie sheet. (They should overlap slightly on the bottom--they will stay together nicely if you press them gently after you place them on the cookie sheet). Butter the tops of each.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
• Repeat with second half of phyllo sheets and chicken mixture.
• Make the sweet and sour dipping sauce by whisking together plum or duck sauce and vinegar in a bowl. Stream in oil and continue whisking to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in mango and sliced scallions.
• Serve either hot or at room temperature with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into thin strips about 2 inches long, or you can leave them whole. Saute in a large skillet in oil until lightly browned and chicken juices run clear.
• Remove chicken from skillet and cover to keep warm.
• Melt butter in same skillet and add onion, sauteing until translucent, not brown.
• Add the paprika, salt and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.
• Whisk in the sour cream until smooth and simmer 1-2 minutes.
• Mix the cornstarch with just enough water to form a runny paste and whisk into the skillet.
• Add the chicken and cook until heated through and the sauce has thickened.
• Serve over egg noodles or mashed potates.
