Island Teriyaki Tiki Chicken Bites
Submitted by Jeanette Nelson of Sophia, W.V.
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1/4 cup medium green onions, finely diced
1/4 cup asian sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon Island Teriyaki sauce
1 tablespoon pineapple preserves
2 teaspoons balsamic seasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup finely shredded carrots
1/3 cup finely diced orange bell pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon sriracha hot sauce
1 can (8 ounce) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls
2 teaspoons black sesame seeds
1 cup sweet and sour sauce for dipping
Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray 16 mini muffin cups with no-stick cooking spray. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken and onions; cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in Asian sweet chili sauce, Island Teriyaki sauce, pineapple preserves, balsamic seasoned rice vinegar, carrots, orange bell pepper, garlic and sriracha hot sauce. Simmer uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened and chicken is no longer pink in center. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, unroll dough into 4 rectangles. Cut each rectangle into quarters by making another diagonal cut in addition to the perforation to make a total of 16 triangles. Press largest part of each dough triangle in bottom and up side of muffin cup, leaving triangle points extending over cup.
Fill each cup with about 1 tablespoon chicken mixture. Slightly stretch points of triangles to make longer; twist points together and place on top of filling. Spray rolls lightly with cooking spray; sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Bake 11 to 19 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to serving plate. Cool 5 minutes. Serve with sweet and sour sauce.
