Chicken Fonda Food

CHICKEN FONDUE

Steps:

• Heat 1/4 cup of the Italian dressing in fondue pot or heavy saucepan on medium-high heat. Add onions; cook and stir until crisp-tender. Add broth, apple juice and cornstarch; stir until well blended. Bring just to boil.
• Dip chicken and vegetables, in batches, into boiling broth mixture with a long-handled fork or long skewer. Cook chicken for 3 min. or until cooked through and vegetables for 2 to 3 min. or until crisp-tender, removing ingredients from the broth mixture as they are done.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the MIRACLE WHIP with the garlic and lemon juice. Mix remaining 1/2 cup MIRACLE WHIP with the Italiian dressing mix. Serve as dips for the chicken and vegetables.

FONTINA ROLLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a bowl, mix the first six ingredients; stir in 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and the remaining salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, toss bread crumbs with paprika., Carefully pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread cheese mixture over chicken. Roll up chicken from a short side; secure with toothpicks., Dip chicken in egg, then coat with crumbs. Place in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan, seam side down. Drizzle tops with oil., Bake, uncovered, 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and chicken is no longer pink. Let stand 5 minutes; discard toothpicks before serving.

ENCHILADAS SUIZAS

Steps:

• Place chicken in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by at least 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until just cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove from water; transfer to a plate. When cool enough to handle, shred into bite size pieces. You should have about 3 cups.
• Meanwhile, preheat oven to broil with a rack in the position closest to the heating element. Arrange tomatillos, poblano, onion wedges, garlic, and jalapeno in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil, flipping once halfway through, until blackened in places and beginning to soften, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender; add cilantro, sour cream, 3/4 cup water, lime juice, and salt and puree until smooth.
• Turn oven to 350 degrees. Spread 1 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of an 8-by-12-inch baking dish. In a medium bowl, toss chicken with 1 cup enchilada sauce. Place about 1/3 cup of chicken in the center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas to enclose filling. Arrange enchiladas in a single layer in prepared baking dish, seam-side down. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top, then sprinkle evenly with cheese.
• Bake until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes. Serve with cilantro leaves, chopped onion, and sliced jalapeno.

CHICKEN FAJITAS

Steps:

• 1. Put the cilantro, lime juice, broth, scallions, garlic, jalapeno, honey, and salt in a blender, puree until smooth. Reserve 2 tablespoons; do not wash out the blender.
• Put chicken breasts in a medium bowl and the peppers and onions in another. Divide the remaining cilantro puree evenly between the chicken and the peppers and onions. Toss well to coat the chicken and vegetables and let stand, at room temperature, for 30 minutes.
• 2. Add the avocado, 1/2 cup water, and the reserved 2 tablespoons cilantro sauce to the blender. Puree until smooth and season with salt. Set aside.
• 3. Heat the oil in a small skillet set over medium heat until hot. Add the cumin and coriander and continue to cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Pour the spices over the yogurt and set aside for the flavors to blend. Stir before serving.
• 4. Preheat a grill for medium-high/direct heat cooking. Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken and vegetables, turning, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 5 to 8 minutes for the vegetables and 12 to 15 minutes for the chicken. Let chicken rest 5 minutes. Place the tortillas on the grill until just warmed through, about 30 seconds.
• 5. To assemble the fajitas: slice the onions and peppers into thin strips and then slice the chicken. Place some peppers, onions, chicken and cilantro in a tortilla topped with the spiced yogurt and the avocado sauce.

CHICKEN FONDA

Steps:

• Mix milk, melted butter, mustard, honey, curry powder and salt in bowl until you get a thorough blend.
• Roll chicken parts in this mixture, making sure each piece is well coated.
• Place coated pieces in roasting pan and put in preheated 350 degrees oven.
• During cooking, baste chicken several times with mixture from roasting pan.
• Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, until pieces are golden brown and juices run clear.

CHICKEN STOCK FONDUE

Steps:

• All vegetables, fish, chicken and beef are optional. Sometimes I do this with only veggies, sometimes with only chicken and veggies, do what suits you and if you think of any more veggies, or different ones, do not hesitate to share!
• Pour yourself a drink - in order to be to perfect host/hostess, you need to get in the mood - if alcohol is not your bev. of choice, at least caffeinate yourself!
• Prepare all veggies, chicken, meat, etc. and place in bowls - if using the marinades, add them to the bowls with the meats and fish - if you have good dips, the marinades aren't really necessary, but still delicious.
• Bring stock to boil in saucepan.
• Use this time to set out the bowls, plates for your guests, and if you have little bowls and wish to use condiments, get that going.
• Toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, hot sauce, plum sauce, sweet and sour sauce, thai hot sauce, peanut sauce, mustard, barbeque sauce etc. all go over really well.
• When stock boils, transfer to fondue pot and light heat source.
• Get your guests seated, hand out fondue forks and spear shish-kabob-style onto forks, usually using a carrot or something a little more firm on the end to hold everything in place.
• Make sure all veggies/meats are fully submersed in the stock, and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until desired tenderness is reached.
• Enjoy!
• PS. Sometimes I also cook rice to go along with it so that it stretches a little further and people have something else to nibble on while they're going. At the end of the night, you can also throw in some of the leftover veggies or chicken, and let it simmer for a bit, and then serve it as a soup full of the flavours it has been soaking up all night! These parties can be expensive, so my last party, I made up invitations with drawings of the veggie they were to bring - each person had one to bring - on the front, and I supplied the rest. This way it costs them like 3 bucks each, but saves your wallett. It's a good thing to do because after hosting one of these parties, your guests will be begging for more!
