Fruity Chicken cups

Get your mind off of Those Turkey(s) with these appetizers


Remember last week when slave told you that you could even get some appetizers out of that $15 worth of meat?

Well like most, slave is facing out of town family to arrive this weekend so here are little low fat gems to greet them!


2 TBS non-fat mayonnaise
1 5 oz. Container of non fat plain Greek Style Yogurt
1 orange
approx 2 cups cooked chicken finely chopped
approx 1 cup caned fruit salad in light syrup – drained and chopped
1 stick celery very finely diced.
Fresh ground pepper and salt
package of phylo cups (yes slave knows how to bake them but why?)











Directions

Combine mayonnaise and yogurt in a big bowl. Cut the orange in half and squeeze juice into the mix, then zest the two halves. (This is the best way to add an orange flavor without the bitterness)

Drain the fruit salad (personal preference, slave removes much of the pineapple, but not all). Chop this into tiny pieces. And do the same with the chicken.












Stir together and season. Seal the mixture in a bowl in refrigerator overnight.







When ready to serve:
Spoon the chicken salad mixture into a re-closeable plastic bag. Cut off about a ¼ inch piece of a bottom tip (trust me when you try to cut a ¼ inch, it will end up bigger than you thought!) This makes a perfect squeezable piping bag. Then just pipe the mixture to fill each phylo cup without getting the stuff all over your hands. Also those phylo cups crumble easily so be gentle!

Amaze your family with all of your new found expertise!
