Rockin' Recipes: Salsa Chicken in Springroll Cups


My 2 thighs were small. This made 9 pieces.
Ingredients:

  • 2 left over roasted chicken thighs, skin removed, and pulled from bone.
  • 3 Tbsp of your favorite salsa
  • 1/2 a Medium Onion
  • 4 slices of REAL American cheese, or cheddar (Not pasturized processed cheese food. REAL CHEESE PEOPLE)
  • Egg Roll wrappers
  • Pinch of salt
  • Oil for muffin tin.
Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. In a food processor, put the chicken, salt, salsa and onion. Buzz until your desired consistency. I went for almost pate style with just a little chunk.
  3. Oil the muffin tin.
  4. Line each cup with a wanton wrapper, add filling, til ALMOST full, fold over sides allowing them to overlap each other. Do this for each cup that you have filling for.
  5. Since the chicken is cooked, we're just browning the wantons, and heating the insides. So bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown and delicious.
I've also filled wantons with banana and nutella for dessert. OMG To Die For! You can do these same cups with all sorts of fillings; sweet or savory. Fill it with your favorite things, throw it in the oven for something extra special.

Another option is use a mini muffin tin, use wanton wrappers to make appetizers for parties without breaking the bank!

Letter to my Readers #3

So I was washing up the dishes after making the laundry powder and homemade bagels. Yes, I'll post my bagel recipe at some point.

Anyway, so after shaving the ivory, i put the grater into a full sink of hot water that had dishes soaking. My Dishwasher is stupid. I have to wash the dishes by hand before I put them into the dish"Washer" which I use as a high temp rinse and for sanitizing, i guess. Otherwise its a big lump of useless crap...

Anyway 2.0, Ivory on grater, in hot water in sink, it melts into the water. i decided to add a  little borax and baking soda to it, and let me tell ya. I was able to soak the dishes for less time. Food came off, including my baking sheets with baked on oil and such on it. Took almost all of it right off. It was great!

The moral of the story... Try a little of that laundry mix in the dish washing instead of just plain dish soap. Let me know how it works for you.
