• 1 tablespoon jalapeno pepper, minced
• 1 tablespoon garlic, chopped
• Fresh ground pepper
• Sea salt
• 4 warmed sourdough rolls
• Heavy-duty aluminum foil
• Grill or oven

Step 1: Tear off two sheets of aluminum foil, each 15 inches long. Fold the edges together to create a single sheet with two layers. Repeat this to form a second double-layered foil sheet. Bend edges on one sheet up 2 inches, crimping the corners together so the sheet will hold liquid.

Step 2: Layer these ingredients onto the bent foil sheet, working in order: olive oil, red onion, jalapeno pepper, bell pepper, shredded chicken, ¼ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper, garlic, chopped cilantro, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup parmesan cheese, lime juice, and the tequila. Put the other double-layered sheet of foil on top of these ingredients. Fold the top and bottom foil sheets together all the way around, ensuring that there are no leaks. Place this package in the refrigerator until cooking time.

Step 3: Preheat grill to medium or oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Put the foil package on the grill or in the oven. Cook for 10 minutes, turn the package over, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Slice open the foil and top the ingredients with the Roma tomatoes, remaining cilantro, and extra parmesan cheese.

Step 4: Portion the ingredients into the warmed rolls and serve immediately.

You will need:

• 3 cups cooked and shredded chicken

Step 1: Pour an inch of water into the saucepan and place the steamer basket in the pan. Cover the pan and bring the water to boiling on high heat.

Step 2: Remove wing tips and save them to make stock. With the knife or shears, separate each wing at its joint. Put the wings into the steam basket. Cover the pan, reduce heat to the medium setting, and steam the wings for 10 minutes, then remove them from the steamer basket and pat them dry.

Step 3: Line the pan with the paper towels and put the cooling rack into the pan. Lay out the wings on the rack and refrigerate them for an hour.

Step 4: Preheat oven to a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the pan from the fridge, discard the paper towels, and use parchment paper to replace them. Roast the wings in the pan on the middle oven rack for 20 minutes. Use the tongs to turn over the wings and cook them until they have cooked completely through and their skin appears golden brown, approximately 20 minutes.

Step 5: While wings are cooking, melt the garlic and butter in the small bowl in the microwave. Transfer melted ingredients to the larger bowl, add the salt and hot sauce, and stir ingredients to combine them.

Step 6: Remove the chicken wings from the oven, transfer them to the large bowl, and toss them with the sauce. Serve the wings warm.

You will need:

• 1 box of refrigerated pie crusts, softened according to instructions on box
• 9 cups (9 medium) apples, peeled and sliced thinly

Step 2: Fit the crust into the pan, pressing it into the corners. Fold under extra crust to make it even with the pan edges. Crimp the crust edges.

Step 3: Mix the lemon juice, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, flour, granulated sugar, and cream or cottage cheese in the large bowl. Stir in the apples and raisins, coating them evenly. Spoon this apple mixture onto the crust.

Step 4: Bake until the filling bubbles and the crust appears golden brown, approximately 33 to 38 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 45 minutes on the wire rack.

Step 5: Mix the milk and powdered sugar in a small bowl until it is well-blended. Drizzle this glaze over the slab pie, allowing it to set for approximately 30 minutes before serving.

You will need:

• 4 yellow, red, or a color mixture of bell peppers, cut in half lengthwise with seeds removed
• 3 cups of leftover spaghetti sauce
• ¾ cup fontina or asiago cheese, grated
• ¾ cup golden raisins
• ½ cup couscous
• ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 teaspoons red wine vinegar
• Kosher salt
• Large microwave-safe bowl with lid (or use plastic wrap)
• Large bowl
• Whisk
• Mixing spoon

Step 4: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake about 20 minutes or until the filling is hot and the peppers are tender. Transfer each pepper to a plate and drizzle some cooking liquid on top of each one.

Step 1: A potluck party is a great idea because it prevents you from having to buy and cook all the food. By assigning each guest a specific item to bring, the buffet table will be filled with a wide assortment of food.

Step 2: Serve plenty of dips and appetizers because finger foods are easier to eat between plays. Multilayer bean dip, salsa, guacamole, and hummus are excellent choices. Pair these with tortilla, corn, and potato chips. Cheese and crackers are another winning combination that is very easy to create.

Step 3: Consider the teams that will be playing and create some one-pot meals that embrace their local culture. Southwestern chili, New England baked beans, and Louisiana gumbo are a few examples. Look for dishes that can be prepared the day before and reheated when guests arrive.

Step 4: If the weather is chilly in your neck of the woods, make some stew, chili, or soup to keep guests warm. Let everyone ladle portions into large mugs and serve cornbread or biscuits on the side.

Step 5: A football party would not be complete without chicken wings. Prepare various types, offering everything from sweet and sour to five alarm hot wings. Add chicken nuggets or tenders for those who prefer to avoid the mess.

Step 6: Recipes like macaroni and cheese, lasagna, and tuna noodle casserole make large portions perfect for a football party. Prepare these dishes in advance and freeze them so they will be ready to cook on game day.

Step 7: Serve both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, creating virgin versions of fun cocktails in addition to the traditional beer, wine, and pitcher drinks.

Step 8: Do not forget desserts like cookies, brownies, cake, and pies so everyone can satisfy their sweet tooth during the second half of the game.

You will need:

• 1 (approximately 1 ½ pound) flank steak
• 3 scallions, coarsely chopped
• 2 to 3 medium tomatoes
• 2 cups fresh parsley, loosely packed
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2 anchovy fillets
• 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil and extra for the grill
• 2 tablespoons capers, drained
• ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Juice and zest of ½ lemon
• Fresh ground pepper
• Kosher salt
• Fork
• Slicing knife
• Cutting board
• Food processor
• Bowl
• Grill pan

Step 1: Prepare the salsa verde by adding the scallions, parsley, lemon juice and zest, capers, garlic, anchovies, olive oil, and mustard to the food processor and pulsing until slightly chunky. Pour the salsa verde into the bowl and use salt to season it.

Step 2: Place the grill pan on a burner set to high heat. Use the fork to pierce all over the steak. Season the steak with pepper and salt. Apply oil to the grill pan and grill the steak, turning once and cooking each side for 4 or 5 minutes to achieve medium-rare doneness. Transfer the steak to the cutting board and allow it to sit for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Slice the tomatoes with the knife and season them with pepper and salt. Slice the steak thinly, going against the grain. Serve the steak with the salsa verde and tomatoes. Add a starch like roasted new potatoes to complete the meal.

Don’t have everything you need? Here are some items you might find helpful!

You will need:

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each)
• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1 clove garlic, chopped finely
• 1 cup low-fat evaporated milk
• ½ cup Gruyere cheese, grated
• ½ cup low-sodium chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
• ¼ cup dry sherry
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Fresh ground black pepper
• Kosher salt
• Cooking spray
• Paper towels
• Cutting knife
• Chopping knife
• Paring knife
• Whisk
• Mixing spoon
• Shallow rectangular baking dish
• Small pot
• Medium pot
• Medium bowl
• Small bowl
• Large nonstick skillet
• Oven with broiler

Step 1: Preheat the broiler and lightly mist the baking dish with the cooking spray.

Step 2: Add water and a pinch of salt to the pot and bring it to a boil on the stove. Add broccoli florets and cook them about 5 minutes or until they are tender-crisp and bright green. Drain the broccoli and run it under cold water until it is cold. Drain it well and use the paper towels to squeeze it dry.

Step 3: Use the chopping knife to chop the broccoli. Toss broccoli in the medium bowl with the garlic and Gruyere cheese. Create a pocket 3 inches deep in each chicken breast by inserting the paring knife into the thickest area of the breast. Stuff equal amounts of broccoli mixture into each breast. Rub thyme and oil onto both sides of the breasts and season them with pepper and salt.

Step 4: Heat the skillet for approximately 5 minutes on a burner set to medium-high heat. Carefully place the chicken in to the hot pan and cook it about 6 minutes on each side or until it is just cooked through and appears golden brown. If the breasts start browning too quickly, turn down the heat to medium and complete cooking through. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish.

Step 5: In the small pot, combine the chicken broth and milk, season with pepper and salt, and bring to simmering over a burner on medium heat. In a small bowl, stir the cornstarch and sherry with the spoon until smooth. Pour this into the sauce, whisking constantly. Cook approximately 2 minutes or until just thickened. Remove from the burner and stir in the Parmesan cheese.

Step 6: Add 2 tablespoons sauce to the top of each chicken breast. Place the chicken under the broiler and broil about 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned.

Step 7: Allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes. Cut each chicken breast into angled halves. Whisk mustard into the sauce that remains. Add a few tablespoons of this sauce to the center of each plate and top it with one of the chicken breast halves.

You will need:

• 1 14-ounce can coconut milk- light version
• 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth.
• 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 4 ounces of cooked rice noodles
• Mixing spoon
• Sauce Pan
• Pot

Step 1: The soup gets a low-calorie flavor base from the chicken broth. For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead. Pour the broth into the saucepan and bring it to simmering on a burner set to medium-high heat. Lemongrass or ginger root can be added to the broth to infuse additional flavor.

Step 2: Rice noodles are free of gluten, cholesterol, and fat and make this soup into a meal. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles in it for 4 to 6 minutes.

Step 3: Coconut milk serves as the main flavor ingredient and provides a silky texture. Selecting the light version results in half the calories and fat while still delivering the coconut flavor. Coconut also contains minerals like magnesium and iron to keep bones and red blood cells healthy. Hoisin sauce is a one-product substitute for soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and fish sauce. Mushrooms contain vitamin D and provide an earthy flavoring and hearty kick to this soup.

Add the noodles, mushrooms, hoisin sauce, and coconut milk to the broth. Mix well with the spoon to dissolve the hoisin sauce and combine the flavors. Return the broth to simmering, cook the soup for 10 to 12 minutes, and then serve it.
