Chicken Rochambeau
Ingredients
- 1 medium tray Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets (120 pieces)
- 1/2 pound good quality smoked ham, sliced thin and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/2 pound sliced Swiss cheese, sliced thin and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 0.9-ounce package Bearnaise Sauce
- 1 stick butter
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 6-ounce can pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup dry vermouth
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place chicken nuggets in a large, shallow baking dish. Layer ham and Swiss cheese over chicken. Make Bearnaise Sauce according to package directions; pour over chicken mixture. Set aside. Prepare the "Rochambeau Sauce" by melting the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk until mixture is a caramel color. Slowly whisk in pineapple juice and brown sugar. Increase heat to medium high and whisk constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 3 minutes. Remove sauce from the heat and stir in vermouth. Pour Rochambeau Sauce over Bearnaise Sauce. Cover dish and bake until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve with toothpicks. Makes 15 appetizer servings.
