Mandarin Chicken Bites

A very impressive cold appetizer. The color of the oranges and spinach really brighten up a buffet table. My guests loved this appetizer and devoured them all. Adapted slightly from a creme de colorado cookbook.

Steps

Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes.
In a 10-inch skillet , combine chicken cubes , broth , soy sauce and worcestershire.
Heat to boiling over medium heat.
Cover , reduce heat , and simmer until chicken is fork-tender.
With a slotted spoon , remove chicken from broth and let cool slightly.
Place spinach leaves in a colander.
Pour boiling water over leaves.
Drain and set aside to cool.
Place a cube of chicken at stem end of a spinach leaf and wrap leaf around chicken so that chicken still shows on sides.
Secure end of leaf with a wooden pick.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
To serve , place one mandarin orange at the end of each wooden pick.
Serve with curry mayonnaise dip.
Curry mayonnaise dip: blend all ingredients and refrigerate to allow flavors to mature.
