Mini Chicken Cigars With Sweet And Sour Mango Dipping 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:

• 1. Combine the chicken, mango, red onions, jalapeno, and cilantro in a bowl. Add half the lime juice, olive oil, and salt to taste. Next, mash the avocados together with the remaining lime juice and salt to taste in another bowl.
• 2. Top the tortilla chips with a dollop of mashed avocado and some chicken salad and serve.

Steps:

• For the mango dipping sauce: Add the mango, BBQ sauce, honey, lime juice and salt to a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
• For the shrimp: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper in a bowl. Beat the eggs and 1/2 cup water in a second bowl. In a third bowl, combine the coconut flakes and breadcrumbs.
• Bread the shrimp by dipping them first in the flour mixture and shaking off any excess, then in the egg wash and finally in the coconut breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure each shrimp has an even coating.
• Fry the shrimp in the oil in batches of 8 to 12 until golden and crispy, approximately 2 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Arrange on a platter and serve immediately alongside the dipping sauce. Garnish with lime wedges.

Steps:

• Heat a small pot over medium heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, pepper flakes and anchovy paste. Cook 2 minutes. Add parsley, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir sauce, bring to a bubble and simmer 5 minutes over low heat then place in small bowl and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place chicken in a bowl and mix with spices and parsley. Place a piece of phyllo on a nonstick cookie sheet, butter it and top with a second sheet. Divide the chicken in half. Form a 1-inch thick log the length of the long side of the phyllo dough. Roll the log in phyllo tightly. Cut the chicken filled phyllo into 4 "cigars" and brush with a dab more butter. Repeat to make a total of 8 chicken and phyllo roll-ups.
• Bake 12 to 15 minutes until golden.

Steps:

• Puree mangoes, honey, vinegar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender until smooth. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sambal oelek, ginger, and sesame oil in a large resealable plastic bag. Seal and place in the refrigerator to marinate, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Bring water to a boil in a small saucepan. Stir in rice. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the surface of the rice. Continue cooking until water is completely absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Fluff rice with a fork to fully incorporate sesame seeds.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Cook and stir onion until browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Add chicken mixture, including marinade, and garlic; saute until chicken is no longer pink in the center and sauce coats chicken pieces, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Stir mangoes and cashews into the skillet until just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve over rice. Garnish with black pepper.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil until hot.
• Add onion and sauté for 1 minute.
• Add the mushrooms, carrots, scallions, celery, and bell pepper.
• Sauté for 3 minutes.
• Add the chicken and salt, cook for 6-8 minutes until the chicken is done, no pink juices.
• Add the mango, water chestnuts and Sweet and Sour Sauce.
• Continue to cook for 1 minute until hot.
• Serve over rice.
• TIP:.
• If you would like this dish juicier so it soaks into the rice, use more than 1/2 cup of the Sweet and Sour Sauce.
• Or, make extra sauce and serve it as a dip for fresh vegetables or chicken fingers.
