Who doesn’t love Taco Tuesday! Kids also love taco seasoned chicken served on a taco burger, taco nachos, and even on tater tots…can you say Tachos! 

Taco Seasoned Chicken
This recipe is scaled to print per 36 servings, 5 lb (1/2 bag chicken)

5 lb USDA Chicken, frozen, diced
3/8 cup taco seasoning

STEAM FROZEN CHICKEN (2-Tacos per Serving):
For every 36 servings (2-tacos per serving): Place 5 lb (80 oz) frozen chicken in a 2" full perforated (or 4" half ) steamtable pan lined with a 2" full solid (or 4" half) steamtable pan. 
For every 72 servings (2-tacos per serving): Place 10 lb (160 oz) frozen chicken in a 4" full perforated steamtable pan lined with a 4" full solid steamtable pan.
 
Separate pans. Place the perforated pan with the chicken at the top of the steamer and the solid pan at the bottom of the steamer to catch the juices from the chicken. NOTE: Do not line the perforated pan with the solid pan. The chicken will not cook as fast and it may cause cold spots.

Steam chicken for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F. Temp the center and the center of both sides of the pan to be sure there are no cold spots. Remove solid pan of chicken juices from the steamer. For every 36 servings, measure out 1 1/2 cups juice from chicken. Whisk 3/8 cup (1/4 cup 2 Tbsp) taco seasoning into chicken broth. OR for every 72 servings, measure out 3 cups juice from chicken. Whisk 3/4 cup taco seasoning into chicken broth. Discard remaining chicken broth. Place chicken in solid pan, stir in seasoned chicken broth. 

PREPARE TACOS PER SERVING:
SERVE: Serve 2 tacos per student. Divide 2.3 oz wt (#16 scoop, packed) heated, seasoned chicken into two tortillas. 

Optional Condiments – shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, diced onions, fresh jalapenos, sour cream, salsa, and mozzarella shredded cheese.
               
MEAL PATTERN: 
2 Tacos: 2.3 oz eq (#16 scoop packed chicken)

LEFTOVERS: Freeze leftover seasoned chicken. Reheat one time only.

Simple how to guide for making delicious BBQ Chicken.

This BBQ chicken is a kid favorite and is easy to prepare. We’ve steamed the chicken to remove some of the juices to keep the BBQ sauce thick. This recipe is great for BBQ Chicken Sandwiches, BBQ Nachos, or BBQ Flatbreads. Enjoy!
