Steps:
- For the chicken cigars: Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Place chicken in a bowl and mix with spices and parsley. (I actually used my food processor to shred/chop chicken and mix in the spices and it worked nicely--use it to chop the parsley first and then add other ingredients).
- Place a piece of phyllo on a nonstick cookie sheet and brush with some of the melted butter. Repeat 3 more times, placing each of phyllo over the last buttered sheet to make 4 layers. Cut layered phyllo into 16 rectangles (4 x 4).
- On one end of each of the rectangles, place a heaping tablespoon of chicken filling. Roll up tightly to make mini "cigars". Cut each of these in half and place on a cookie sheet. (They should overlap slightly on the bottom--they will stay together nicely if you press them gently after you place them on the cookie sheet). Butter the tops of each.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until golden brown.
- Repeat with second half of phyllo sheets and chicken mixture.
- Make the sweet and sour dipping sauce by whisking together plum or duck sauce and vinegar in a bowl. Stream in oil and continue whisking to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Fold in mango and sliced scallions.
- Serve either hot or at room temperature with dipping sauce.

SWEET AND SOUR MANGO CHICKEN S-C-J
This was originally for shrimp, but I don't like seafood so I changed it. Site quote: "I stopped ordering sweet and sour dishes at my favorite Chinese restaurant when I discovered the calorie count was over the top. So I was delighted when Chef James Brockman helped me whip up this lighter version using mangoes-a delicious, low-cal fruit that is rich in nutrition, packed with beta-carotene and excellent in aiding digestion. Pair it with our Sesame Garlic Broccoli and serve over your favorite rice. Jasmine rice, found in most grocery stores, is very aromatic and goes perfectly with this dish."

Steps:
- Puree mangoes, honey, vinegar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender until smooth. Sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 1 day. Serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- For crispy phyllo pastry cigars, ensure that the pastry sheets are thawed completely before use. Cut the sheets into uniform squares or rectangles for even cooking.
- Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the chicken breast. This will help in even cooking and result in tender, juicy chicken cigars.
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in a mixture of spices, herbs, and yogurt before cooking. This will infuse the chicken with delicious flavors.
- To prevent the phyllo pastry from becoming soggy, brush each sheet lightly with melted butter before filling and rolling. This will create a barrier and keep the pastry crispy.
- Be careful not to overfill the phyllo pastry sheets, as this can make them difficult to roll and seal properly. Aim for a thin, even layer of chicken and cheese.
- To achieve golden brown crispy cigars, fry them in hot oil until they turn a rich golden color. Make sure to adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
- Serve the chicken cigars hot with the sweet and sour mango dipping sauce. The sauce can be made ahead and chilled until ready to serve.
