Spicy Chicken And Chips Recipes

SPICY CHICKEN-TORTILLA CHIP CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Position a rack in the upper third of the oven; preheat to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the scallions and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour, cumin, oregano and cayenne and stir until coated. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the salsa and remove from the heat. Stir in the chicken, white beans and 1 cup cilantro.
• Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Spread one-third of the crushed tortilla chips in the bottom. Top with half of the chicken mixture. Spread another layer of tortilla chips on top and sprinkle with half of the cheese. Top with the remaining chicken mixture, tortilla chips and cheese. Cover with foil and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until lightly browned and bubbling, about 10 minutes. Top with more cilantro.

SPICY CHICKEN AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Peal the potatoes, and slice them into chips (like fat fries to Americans).
• Leave them to soak in a bowl of salt water - leave them in a cool place if they're being left for a while - or just on the side.
• In a small bowl mix half a table spoon of margarine, half a table spoon of creole mix with a small glug of wostershire sauce until you have a paste.
• Create a pocket between the meat and the skin of the chicken breasts and put around half the paste (less if you don't like it spicy) in and massage through the skin until it evenly spread. Put the 2 breasts in a clay casserole dish.
• In a tin baking tray put the potato's (drained of water) with oil and sprinkle generously with cajun spice mix.
• Put both trays in the oven at around 200 degrees (give or take), for around 40 minutes (give or take)
• 5 minutes before serving boil up the peas, drain and serve with a a nob of margarine, with the chicken and chips - and a big blob of ketchup and mayonnaise.
• For kids - don't put spice on the chips and use less of the spice paste in the chicken.

PLANTAIN CHIP NACHOS WITH SPICY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the chicken: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/2 cup onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until translucent, 5 minutes. Stir in the minced serrano, chile powder and zest and juice of 1 lime; stir 30 seconds. Stir in the chicken broth and chicken and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook until thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the mango salsa: Combine the mango, sliced serrano, reserved 1/2 cup diced onion, the tomato, cilantro, the juice of the remaining lime and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour and cook until foaming, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until smooth.
• Reheat the chicken mixture, if necessary. Arrange the plantain chips on a platter. Top with half of the cheese sauce, the chicken, remaining cheese sauce, guacamole and mango salsa.
