Low Carb Curried Chicken Bites Recipe with Coconut & Cream Cheese

These are fun little nibblers to take on a picnic or to serve as a summertime appetizer.  They are also great rolled in toasted pecans or walnuts. 

Ingredients:

• 3/4 C flaked coconut
• 1 (3 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
• 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
• 1 C chicken, cooked and chopped
• 2 Tbsp. onion, minced
• 1 Tbsp. curry powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Directions:

Preheat the oven temperature to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut out onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Toast the coconut 12 minutes or lightly brown. Remove and set aside to cool to room temperature.

Place the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise and stir until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the chicken, onion, curry powder, and salt, blending well.

Hand-roll the chicken mixture into small balls. Roll the chicken balls in the toasted coconut, being sure to cover completely. Place on a piece of wax paper laid out on a baking sheet. Continue until all the chicken mixture has been used. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator at least 2 hours until firm, and serve.
