Curried Chicken Lollipops #RSC
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
Ready, Set, Cook! We are challenging each other in one of my favorite cooking groups, to create recipes using a restricted ingredients list (and nothing that is not on the ingredients list) and then have a face-off of recipes among friends. Sound like fun? It is!
We’ve been playing since our mob was encapsulated inside the community at the old Recipezaar. After the forums there went *kaput* we found new digs elsewhere.
All right Sparky, here’s the deal!
Divided into three rounds. May submit up to one recipe per category.
Must use at least one thing from the mains list, and as many from the pantry list, but nothing else.

We made these chicken lollipops for a light dinner. Love how the croutons added a really nice crunchy coating. Next time I would add more curry powder, but just my preference. We tried using tamarind chutney, but found that these lollipops went better with mango chutney.
Dear Sue! I would like to tell you that these bites were so delicious and that my family said that these are real wonderful chicken nuggets as the come out crunchy, very tasty and juicy! Couldn’t have turn better! As chutney we used a special preparation made with figs, which was waiting to be tried with something special like your great bites! Thanks a lot, I will make this again! I really recommend this recipe!
Wow, Sue, these are wonderful. The spicing is spot on in these very tasty little treats. We enjoyed these with our dinner the other day… when they were all gone, we were looking for more… so very good. Quick, easy and super tender, very flavorful and delicious. Thanks for sharing your recipe with us and for coming to play. So happy that you are. Made as written and wouldn’t change a thing. Made for Round 1 – RSC game. ♥
