Chicken Fondue Recipes

BEEF AND CHICKEN FONDUE

Steps:

• To make creamy cucumber sauce, in medium bowl, beat cream cheese with spoon until creamy. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
• Cut steak and chicken across grain into 1x1/2-inch pieces. Blot dry with paper towels; arrange on lettuce-lined platter. Cover; refrigerate until serving time. Arrange vegetables on separate platter; set aside.
• At serving time, divide broth between two 3-quart electric fondue pots; add half of garlic, parsley, thyme, salt and the pepper to each fondue pot. Heat at 375°F until boiling.
• With long-handled fondue forks, spear meats and vegetables; place in hot broth. Cook 2 to 4 minutes, keeping broth at a low boil, until beef and vegetables are desired doneness and chicken is no longer pink in center. (Because fondue forks become very hot, transfer meat and vegetables to plate and use table fork for eating.) Serve with sauces for dipping.

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.

HOW TO FONDUE WITH OIL

Steps:

• Place your electric fondue pot on the dinner table where it will be served. Add oil to our fondue pot, being sure not to fill it pass the max fill line. Secure the electric cord so no one trips over it!
• Plug the pot in and turn the pot to 375°F.
• Meanwhile, add the raw meats and frozen items to individual bowls.
• When the oil is hot, begin cooking food in the pot. Allow each guest (up to 5) to add one raw item to their colored fondue fork directly from the serving bowl and set in the pot. (Do not have guests transfer raw meat to their dinner plates.)
• Each dinner guest can keep an eye on their own food as it cooks, paying attention to what color fondue forks they have. Don't allow too many foods in the oil at one time or it will bring the temperature of the oil down too low. When their food is done, carefully place it on their dinner plate and enjoy with dips or sauces.

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!
