Coconut Chicken Nibblers

Posted by Tamara in Lunch, Recipes on October 16, 2008 | no responses

These are fun little nibblers for your little one to have for lunch or a light dinner.  They are also great rolled in toasted pecans or walnuts.

What You Need:

  • 3/4 c flaked coconut
  • 1 (3 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (I often use plain yogurt)
  • 1 c chicken, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tbsp onion, minced
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

How to Make It:

  1. Spread the coconut out on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  2. Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
  3. Toast the coconut 12 minutes or lightly brown.
  4. Remove and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  5. Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl.
  6. Add the mayonnaise and stir until the mixture is smooth.
  7. Stir in the chicken, onion, curry powder and salt.
  8. Be sure to stir well so all the ingredients are incorporated together.
  9. Use your hands to for the chicken into balls.
  10. Roll the chicken balls in the toasted coconut being sure to cover completely.
  11. Place on a piece of wax paper laid out on a baking sheet.
  12. Continue until all the chicken mixture has been used.
  13. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap.
  14. Place in the refrigerator at least 2 hours so the balls will become firm.
