Directions
-
In a fondue pot, electric skillet, or electric wok, combine 4 cups of chicken stock, 2/3 cup white wine (or 1/4 cup rice vinegar), 2 lemon slices, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons minced gingerroot, and 2 teaspoons granulated sugar.

Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Keep warm on low heat just before serving.

Cut 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts into 3/4-inch pieces and arrange on a serving platter.

Cut 1/2 bunch broccoli, 1 small yellow summer squash or zucchini, 2 cups torn Swiss chard or romaine lettuce, 1 sweet red or green pepper, and 1/4 lb mushrooms into bite-sized pieces.
-
Arrange the cut vegetables and mushrooms on a separate serving platter alongside the chicken.

For the Garlic Sauce, combine 1/2 cup light sour cream (or low-fat yogurt) with 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley in a small bowl. Stir well.

For the Hot Chili Sauce, combine 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 in a small bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.

Place the simmering fondue pot in the center of the table with the plates of raw ingredients and sauces nearby.

Using long fondue forks, spear pieces of chicken or vegetables and dip them into the simmering broth.

Cook chicken pieces for 3-5 minutes until no longer pink inside. Cook vegetables for 1-2 minutes until tender-crisp.
