Lovely little bites! I agree with Lucky in Bayview: the cilantro really makes these. I used well-seasoned chicken which I would also recommend. Thank you for sharing!

We really liked these. I think the cilantro made it. This mixture would be good in wonton skins too. Thanks for posting this reicpe!
