Teen Chef

Learning to cook is more than just knowing how to follow a recipe. It is an adventure
into the basics of chemistry; an exercise in the applications of math and reading
comprehension, and the visual art of nature’s palette.   Teens will enjoy more
challenging recipes in our studio kitchen, while continuing to build their self reliance
as they prepare for the lifelong journey ahead without Mom or Dad!   We'll talk about
how to eat healthy to kick start a love for healthy food.  We will have iron chef style
competitions and explore food science.
Teen Chef meets every Monday from 6:30 to 8 pm

Mexican Chicken Soup
Ingredients

4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chopped onions (2 onions)
1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
2 cups chopped carrots (4 carrots)
4 large cloves garlic, chopped
2 1/2 quarts chicken stock, preferably homemade
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in puree, crushed
2 to 4 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander seed
1/4 to 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves, optional
6 (6-inch) fresh white corn tortillas

Directions

For serving: sliced avocado, sour cream, grated Cheddar
cheese, and tortilla chips

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chicken breasts skin side up on a sheet pan. Rub
with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roast for 35 to
40 minutes, until done. When the chicken is cool enough to
handle, discard the skin and bones, and shred the meat.
Cover and set aside.

Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot or
Dutch oven. Add the onions, celery, and carrots and cook
over medium-low heat for 10 minutes, or until the onions start
to brown. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the
chicken stock, tomatoes with their puree, jalapenos, cumin,
coriander, 1 tablespoon salt (depending on the saltiness of
the chicken stock), 1 teaspoon pepper, and the cilantro, if
using. Cut the tortillas in 1/2, then cut them crosswise into
1/2-inch strips and add to the soup. Bring the soup to a boil,
then lower the heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Add the
shredded chicken and season to taste. Serve the soup hot
topped with sliced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, grated
Cheddar cheese, and broken tortilla chips.



Enjoy!
