- 1 1/4 cups finely diced cooked chicken breast (skinned before cooking and cooked without salt)
- 2 tablespoons diced water chestnuts

- 1/3 cup reduced-calorie mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
- Coat 2 miniature (1 3/4-inch) muffin pans with cooking spray; set aside.
- Place 1 sheet of phyllo on a damp towel (keep remaining phyllo covered). Lightly coat phyllo with cooking spray. Layer remaining 4 sheets phyllo on first sheet, lightly coating each sheet with cooking spray. Cut phyllo stack into 24 circles using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place phyllo circles into prepared muffin cups, pressing phyllo against bottom and up sides of cups. Bake at 350u0b0 for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool completely in pans on a wire rack; remove from pans.
