¼ c. scallions, finely chopped

Let's Get Started!

2. Spoon about 2 tablespoons or more of the shrimp mixture on to the center of each chicken breast, leaving 1/2-inch edge all the way around. Roll each chicken breast and fasten with toothpicks. Cover and refrigerate 15 minutes.
3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and 1 tsp. of salt. Gradually stir in water until smooth. set aside.
4. Heat canola oil (1 to 1 1/2 inch deep) to 375 degrees. Using tongs, dip chicken rolls one at a time into the flour mixture. Fry in oil for about 15 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally. Drain on a paper towel and keep warm. Repeat until all chicken rolls have been cooked.
5. Remove toothpicks and serve immediately.
