Toasted Curry Chicken Bites

Happy Wednesday! As we continue with the catering dishes today I bring you a little taste of India with a crunch.

These toasted curry chicken bites were the star of the show. Even though they are a little time consuming in the preparation phase, they are well worth the effort.  The real effort is in the creation of the sandwich. The filling, on the other hand, is quite simple to whip together as long as you can keep your fork out of it.

These combination of flavors and textures just makes me smile. So without further a do, lets get on to what you will need to create these toasted curry chicken bites.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Cooked chicken (chopped)
• 3/4 Cup Mayonnaise
• 3/4 Cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
• 3/4 Cup Chopped Almonds
• 2 Tsp. Curry Powder
• 2 Tsp. Lemon Juice
• 1/2 Tsp. Black Pepper
• 1/4 Cup Melted Butter
• 18 Slices Whole Wheat Bread (crust removed)

Method

1. Preheat Oven to 375°.
2. Mix thoroughly all ingredients except melted butter into a bowl.
3. Roll out slices of bread with a rolling pin until very flat.
4. Add ~ 1 tbsp. of mixture to the bread.
5. Roll bread like a Jelly Roll.
6. Cut in two, pierce with toothpick to hold it together and brush with melted butter.
7. Complete remainder of sandwiches.
8. Bake for 15 Minutes at 375°.
9. ENJOY!

Zesty Tip: For these little bites, I made them the evening before and cooked them until crispy.  At the night of the party, I just put them in a 400° oven to warm them through and achieve the crunch again.

Question of the day:  What is your favorite Indian dish (if you like Indian cuisine)?  I hope you have a great day and I look forward to your feedback.

Take care
