Directions
-
Prepare the Fondue Broth: In a fondue pot, electric skillet, or electric wok, combine 4 cups of chicken stock, 2/3 cup white wine (or 1/4 cup cider vinegar), 2 lemon slices, 2 minced garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons minced gingerroot, and 2 teaspoons granulated sugar.
-
Bring the broth mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce heat to low to maintain a steady simmer just before serving.
-
Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables: Cut 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts into uniform 3/4-inch cubes and arrange on a serving platter.
-
Cut 1/2 bunch of broccoli, 1 small yellow summer squash or zucchini, 2 cups of torn Swiss chard or romaine lettuce, 1 sweet red or green pepper, and 1/4 lb of mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
-
Arrange the cut vegetables and mushrooms on a separate platter for easy access.
-
Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup light sour cream (or low-fat yogurt), 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley. Stir until smooth and set aside.
-
Prepare the Hot Chili Sauce: In another small bowl, mix 1/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons lemon or lime juice, 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper flakes.
-
To Serve: Using long fondue forks, guests should spear pieces of chicken or vegetables and dip them into the simmering ginger broth.
-
Cook the chicken pieces in the broth until they are no longer pink inside, which takes about 3-5 minutes.
-
Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp, which takes about 2-3 minutes depending on the vegetable density.
-
Remove cooked items from the broth, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then serve immediately with the prepared Garlic Sauce and Hot Chili Sauce for dipping.
