Need a Yummy Appetizer With Chicken

[chefkristin]

Hi All

I need some ideas for Christmas Eve at my sister's house. I was asked to make an appetizer with chicken without bread. So the Chicken and Broccoloi braid is out. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could possibly make?

How about Buffalo Chicken Dip?

The potstickers from the Dim Sum theme show are a chicken recipe and are really good.

OOHH!! I forgot about that one! I think I will make those. Thanks Ann!!

I love those potstickers. And people get really impressed when you say that you made them from scratch.

 

[SusanBP0129]

I agree! I always forget about them too. They are awesome!

Any other ideas? My mom shot the potstickers down. She says its because she is already making stuffed shells so to her those are too similar.

Savory veggie mini quiches, but add chicken?
Add a layer of chicken to the Touchdown Taco Dip?
Clubhouse Chicken Squares are always a hit...
Chicken Enchilada Ring (cut small pieces and it's an appetizer)

Ok, it's not PC, but another good Junior League recipe.
Skewered Sesame Chicken with Chili Dip.

Sesame Chicken
1/8 c rice wine vinegar
1/2 c sesame oil
1 T chopped garlic
1/8 c soy sauce
1 1/3 lb raw chicken, cut into 48 bite size pieces
1/4 c white sesame seeds
1/4 c black sesame seeds
2 tsp cornstarch
3 T flour
3/4 c peanut oil
48 snow peas

Mix rice wine vinegar, sesmae oil, garlic, and soy sauce, pour over chicken. Marinate overnight. Mix sesame seeds, cornstarch, and flour. Dip marinated chicken into sesame seed mix. Place on parchment lined tray and let set 10 min. Heat peanut oil in saute pan and brown chicken. Drain on paper towels.

Trim tips and lightly blanch snow peas. Wrap pea pod around chicken and skewer.

Chili Dip
1 T rice wine vinegar
2 T chili paste with garlic
1 T soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 T minced ginger
3/4 c mayo
1 T sugar
dash of tabasco sauce

To prepare dip, combine all ingredients, blending well.
You can put the dip in a hollowed out red pepper if you don't have a pretty bowl for it.

To assemble, layer a tray with kale (ok, I omit this!). I just arrange the skewers around the dip. Serves 12


This looks like a lot of work, but they are sooooooo good. Every time I take the time to make these, everyone just loves them. Plus the dip is tasty, but not firey hot.

I've added chicken to the Touchdown Taco Dip and it's delicious. I reccommend it.

The Warm Chicken Curry Dip (Season's Best S/S '06) is AWESOME! I've had it at a cluster meeting (everyone loved it), made it for my husband and kids (one of my girls is fairly picky) and they loved it, made it on a few other occasions and it went over very well.

Oh yes! That is a good one! And there is no bread involved either. Maybe I will ask her (my mom) about that one.

cut wings in half at joint if not done. place on pan covered in foil and brush with 1/2 cup apricot glaze. roast for 15 min. turn wings over and brush with remaining glaze. roast for another 15 min or until the juices run clear.
