ITALIAN CHICKEN CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and lightly spray a muffin tin with olive oil spray.
• Diced chicken up, and add the rest of the filling ingredients leaving out the cheese. Set aside.
• Stretch each biscuit out in your hands carefully til it looks the right size to fill out the muffin cup. Then press it in and form to the shape of the pan, making sure the sides reach up as high as possible.
• Spoon mixture into each biscuit cup and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with the parmesan before or after baking, whichever you like or leave it off completely.
• NOTE: in order to keep the recipe dairy free as stated you need to take care when choosing your biscuits. Some varieties do have milk products in them.

Transfer the peanuts to a medium saucepan and add the coconut milk, tamarind paste, vinegar, brown sugar, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup water and the reserved 2 tablespoons marinade. Bring to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Immediately pour the oil and garlic into the sieve and let drain, reserving the garlic oil. Spread the garlic on a paper towel-lined plate; set aside.
