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.
SWEET AND SPICY PLANTAIN CHIPS
Steps:
- Add the coconut oil to a large skillet. Add enough vegetable oil to come about a third of the way up the sides of the skillet and heat over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Mix together the brown sugar, paprika, cayenne and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- Add the plantain slices to the oil in batches and fry until golden brown on the outside, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and smash to a chip size with a wooden mallet or rolling pin. Return the plantains to the oil in small batches again so they do not stick together and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the chips to the towel-lined baking sheet and top with the seasoning mixture.
SPICY SEASONED PLANTAIN CHIPS
Steps:
- Place the plantains in a bowl of cold water to soak for 30 to 40 minutes (this will help make them easier to peel).
- Combine the salt, garlic, sugar, chile powder, cumin, paprika, thyme, pepper, allspice, cinnamon and clove in a dry pan and toast lightly until aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Preheat a large pot of canola oil to 350 degrees F.
- Peel the plantains and, using a mandolin, finely slice lengthwise. Working in batches, deep fry the plantain slices in the hot oil until golden and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Once all of the plantain slices are fried, toss them in the toasted spice mixture and serve.
PLANTAIN CHIPS
Steps:
- Preheat 1-inch of oil in a deep sided skillet over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
- Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice plantains into 1/8-inch thick ovals on the diagonal. Carefully add plantains to the oil in batches and fry until a tap with a metal spoon sounds hollow, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Sprinkle lightly with lime zest, lime juice and salt. Transfer to a serving plate and serve.
