Yield 64 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground chicken
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons grill seasoning (recommended Montreal Seasoning by McCormick)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (a handful)
8 sheets phyllo dough
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 tablespoons sweet plum sauce or 2 tablespoons Chinese duck sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/4 cup light oil (such as peanut, canola, or vegetable oil)
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup finely diced mango (optional)
1 scallion, green tops only, thinly sliced on the bias

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.

Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

Olive oil cooking spray, for the wire rack and chicken
1/2 cup coconut flour
2 large eggs
1/2 cup light coconut milk
1 1/2 cups whole wheat panko crumbs
1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut, preferably Bob's Red Mill
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup store-bought mango chutney
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 jalapeno, small dice
Serving suggestions: iceberg lettuce, diced carrots, diced tomatoes, shredded red cabbage, 1 to 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Steps:

For the chicken tenders: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place a wire rack on a sheet pan and spray with cooking spray.
Create a 3-step breading process in 3 separate shallow bowls. Put the coconut flour in the first bowl, eggs and coconut milk in the second bowl, whisked to combine, and panko, coconut, salt and pepper in the last bowl, stirred to combine.
Pat the chicken dry and add it to the coconut flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure to coat the chicken entirely. Lastly, lay the chicken in the panko mixture, turning it over and pressing into the breading to coat evenly. Place on the wire rack. Spray the chicken with additional cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note.)
For the dipping sauce: Whisk together the chutney, yogurt and jalapeno in a medium bowl.
To serve this as a salad, combine the iceberg, carrots, tomatoes and red cabbage together in a bowl. Whisk the apple cider vinegar into the mango dipping sauce to make a dressing. Lightly dress the salad with the mango dressing. Top with the coconut chicken and serve.
