Pvw's Southwest Chicken Flowers
- 12 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 12 teaspoon Splenda sugar substitute
- 12 teaspoon chili powder
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon hot sauce, I used cholula chili garlic flavor
- 14 cup sun-dried tomato, finely chopped
- 2 cups cooked chicken, cubed
- 5 phyllo pastry sheets, thawed cut into 4-5 inch squares (does not have to be exact)
- cooking spray
- 1 cup Rice Krispies
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 14 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter (I use I can't believe it's not butter light or 2 tablespoons margarine, I use I can't believe it's n)
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray.
- In a bowl combine mascarpone, egg white, minced garlic, splenda, chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, & hot sauce mix well.
- In the same bowl add chicken and sundried tomatoes.
- Mix until chicken and tomatoes are coated.
- Set aside in the fridge.
- In a zip lock bag add Rice Krispies, seal the bag; with a rolling pin or a large hard glass, crunch the Rice Krispies until ground up similar to bread crumbs.
- To the zip lock bag add garlic powder, dried parsley, & 1/4 teaspoon salt mix well with spoon or close the bag and shake until well blended.
- Set aside.
- In prepared muffin pan layer one square of the Phyllo Sheet in each muffin cup.
- Spray with cooking spray, then add another layer of the Phyllo Sheet squares, and spray again.
- Repeat until all of the Phyllo Sheet squares are in each of the muffin cups.
- Make sure to press against the sides with each layers so you have plenty of room for your filling.
- It's okay to have the corners of the dough sticking up.
- It makes them look more like flowers.
- Place a small amount of chicken mixture in each cup until all cups have been filled.
- Melt 2 Tablespoons of butter and add to your prepared Rice Krispies in the zip lock bag.
- Using a fork or spoon mix the butter with the krispies until well moistened.
- You can use a separate bowl for this step if you prefer but I like to save on doing extra dishes.
- When the krispies are moist crumbles spoon over chicken.
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through.
- When finished allow the Chicken Flowers to cool for about 5-10 minutes.
- Using a fork gently pull the Chicken Flowers out of the muffin pan.
- Plate and serve!
