DIRECTIONS

1.

If the chicken is frozen, thaw it in the refrigerator. Drain the chicken thoroughly on the day of assembly.

CCP: Hold under refrigeration (41 degrees F or lower).

2.

Cut the tortillas into 1 ½ inch squares.
Helpful hint: To make 1 ½ inch squares, cut each tortillas 3 times across in each direction.

3.

Melt the margarine in a pot.  Whisk in the flour until well blended and smooth, about 1 ½ minutes.

4.

Combine the milk, water, chicken base, salt, and pepper. Add gradually this mixture to the flour and margarine mixture.  Stir gently to combine. Bring to a rolling boil.

5.

Drop the tortillas into the sauce in small batches. Cook over medium heat until tortillas are tender, approximately 10 minutes. Stir gently to prevent the tortillas from sticking.

6.

Add thawed chicken to hot mixture and heat thoroughly.

CCP: Heat to 165 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the
cooking process. If manufacturer instructions on package or case have a higher
temperature, follow those recommendations.

7.

Pour into serving pans. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place in warmer until ready for service. 

CCP:  Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F. Check temperature every 30 minutes.

8.

Portion with 6 ounce ladle (¾ cup) per serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. meat/meat alternate and 1 oz. eq. of enriched grain.

CCP: Hold and maintain the product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Leftovers should be covered,
labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from
70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours.

Production Notes

Biscuits may be used instead of tortillas. For 100 servings, use 100 1 oz. eq. biscuits. Cut it into quarters for 4 pieces of dumpling from each biscuit. If biscuits are used, the nutrient analysis and crediting will need to be re-calculated. See MRS Recipe #3130 for more information.

Use USDA Foods products when available.
Refer to USDA FNS Food Buying Guide for School Meal Programs for quantities to purchase if recipe is altered.
If changes are made in ingredients, check crediting information and re-calculate the nutrition analysis.
