Chicken Appetizers

My friend is hosting a party this weekend and is looking for some good chicken appetizer recipes that don't take much time to prepare, aren't fried, and aren't chicken wings! Does anyone have some stellar recipes?

    Poblano Chicken Cups
    Get a rotisserie chicken from the megamart; take the meat off and shred it.

    Take 2 Poblano peppers, seeded & de-veined, and 6-8 Tomatillos de-papered. Cut them in half and broil till blackened. Place blackened goodies and their juices plus a tablespoon of cumin and a couple shots of hot sauce in a blender and pulse to a chunky paste. Combine sauce and chicken and spoon into those frozen, premade Phyllo cups. Or if you have a mini muffin tin, oil some wonton wrappers, tuck them into the mini muffin tin and bake @ 350 until Golden and crunchy; stuff the cooled cups with the Poblano Chicken mix.

      Bacon wrapped Chicken Bites - they will look like lollipops, just broil them as you would bacon wrapped scallops. Use small piece/cube of chix breast. We usuallly have them on the grill on a skewer - everyone loves em. Here's a great version:

        Curried Mango Chicken in Wonton Cups: always a hit around here (and easier than cleaning a deep fryer) 2nd recipe down - http://dinnerwithjulie.com/2008/04/25... Leftover wonton wrappers (if there are any!) can be made into wonton crisps. Enjoy!

          Chicken satay is a light option. He/She could do a nice crostini with a white bean spread, grilled piece of chicken and dab of pesto (infinite possibilities for crostini).
