SPICY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE BUNDLES

Steps:

• Combine first six ingredients on medium bowl. Set sauce aside.
• Bring broth to boil in large saucepan. Working in batches, add cabbage leaves. Cover and simmer until leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer leaves to bowl of cold water. Drain leaves; pat dry. Add beans to broth in pan; until tender, about 2 minutes. Using slotted spoon, add beans to sauce. Pour off all but 1/4 cup liquid from saucepan. Add chicken; stir over medium heat until cooked through, breaking up meat with spoon, about 3 minutes. Drain chicken; add to sauce. Season with salt. Cool. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Cover chicken mixture and cabbage seperately; chill. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
• Place 1 cabbage leaf on work surface. Mound scant 1/4 cup chicken mixture in center of leaf. Fold in 3 sides of leaf; roll up to form bundle. Reapeat with remaining 11 cabbage leaves and chicken mixture.

SPICY CHICKEN SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken breast with salt and pepper and set aside. Mix the flour and cayenne in a shallow dish or bowl. Stir together the egg, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon hot sauce in a second shallow dish or bowl. Add the breadcrumbs to a third shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast by dredging in the flour mix, then dipping in the egg/buttermilk mixture and then finally in the breadcrumbs. Set aside.
• To a bowl, add the remaining cup of Louisiana hot sauce and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Mix together and set aside.
• Heat the olive oil and remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the oil is hot and the butter has melted, add the chicken pieces to the skillet and fry until golden and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside. One by one dip the crisp chicken into the Louisiana hot sauce and butter mixture, turning to coat completely.
• Serve on the toasted buns with tons of pickles.

SAVORY CHICKEN BUNDLES WITH BALSAMIC BERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F/165°C/gas mark 3. Prepare a baking sheet large enough to hold your chicken breasts by spraying it with non-stick spray.
• Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large saute pan.
• Clean chicken breasts and remove excess fat. Pat dry and season liberally with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Once oil is hot, brown chicken breasts, 3-5 minutes per side. I had to do this in two batches, as all six breasts would not fit in at once.
• While the chicken is browning, finely mince garlic cloves and chiffonade basil by stacking the leaves together, rolling tightly into a tube, and slicing into very thin ribbons. Place mascarpone in a small bowl.
• Once breasts are browned, but not thoroughly cooked, remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• There should be a little oil left in the pan. If there is more than a teaspoon or two, drain off some. If you need to, add a little more oil. Use this to quickly saute garlic and basil, no more than a minute or two, until highly fragrant. Add basil and garlic to mascarpone and mix to combine.
• Before unrolling your phyllo dough, set up your work area. You will need your chicken breasts, your cheese mixture, and your cooking spray in easy reach. You will also need an area to keep your dough damp, and a rolling area (these should each be the size of an unrolled sheet). Have a barely damp paper or cloth towel to lay on top of the sheets you aren't working with to prevent them from drying out.
• For each bundle, lay three sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other, spraying lightly between each layer. Place a chicken breast near a short edge. Place a spoonful of cheese on top of the breast. Fold up short edge of phyllo, then sides. Then roll bundle up and place on baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by combining blueberries, cherries, preserves, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to low and simmer. Stir occasionally, squashing the berries slightly.
• Once bundles are done, plate and drizzle with sauce. Let bundles rest 5-10 minutes before serving.

SPICY CASHEW-CHICKEN BUNDLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except dough and additional sliced green onions; set aside.
• On large ungreased cookie sheet, unroll dough and separate into 4 rectangles; press each into 7x4 1/2-inch rectangle, firmly pressing perforations to seal.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup chicken mixture onto one end of each rectangle. Fold dough in half over filling; firmly press edges with fork to seal. With fork, prick top of each to allow steam to escape.
• Bake 13 to 18 minutes or until deep golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet. Garnish with additional sliced green onions. Serve warm.

GOURMET CHICKEN BUNDLES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large skillet combine butter, onion, mushrooms and sausage. Cook until sausage is lightly browned. Place mixture in a large bowl and add sage, marjoram, allspice, egg yolk, and chicken. Lightly toss together.
• Combine 2-3 rolls together (depending on how big of bundles you want- we just used 2 rolls per bundle) and flatten into a circle. Repeat with remaining rolls. Divide chicken mixture equally between the circles. Moisten edges of dough with water and fold over mixture to completely enclose. Place folded side down on a sprayed baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg white. Place 3 whole sage leaves on top, if desired, and brush again. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 15 minutes (I actually skipped this step and they turned out fine). Remove wrap and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
• We dipped our bundles in marinara sauce and it was delicious!

LETTUCE BUNDLES WITH SPICY PEANUT NOODLES

Steps:

• Place duck or chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag along with 1/2 cup soy sauce, and let marinate for 1 hour. Heat a lightly oiled grill or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Grill duck or chicken breasts until cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes per side for duck and 4 to 6 minutes per side for chicken. Let cool slightly, and shred with your fingers, or cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips with a knife.
• In a food processor, pulse garlic and ginger until finely chopped. Add chile paste, peanut butter, 3 tablespoons soy sauce, sugar, peanut oil, lime juice, and 4 1/2 tablespoons water, and pulse until smooth. If a thinner sauce is desired, add 1 or 2 more teaspoons water, and pulse to combine. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles, and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain in a colander, and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking.
• Dress the noodles with 1/2 cup of the peanut sauce, and transfer to a medium serving bowl. If desired, set the bowl into a larger bowl filled with ice to keep the noodles chilled at the table. Arrange peanuts, remaining sauce, and prepared fillings in various serving dishes on the table. Guests can create their own rolls by wrapping noodles, a little sauce, and their choice of meat and fillings in a lettuce leaf.
