TYROSALATA - SPICY FETA DIP



Tyrosalata - Spicy Feta Dip image

This goes great on pitas or Lavash, chicken or fresh vegetables. Yum! I was trying to find a substitute for Trader Joe's Spicy Feta Dip because my family will no longer buy it because it contains canola oil. This is not as thick and clumpy due to the fact I put it in the blender. I'll try to give the closest measurements I can because I made it by just throwing things into the blender.

2 lb or 3 medium size boneless skinless chicken breasts
1-1/2 c buttermilk, (or make your own using the 1 c per 1 tbls acidic ratio)
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp hot sauce (i used tobasco)

3 eggs
3 Tbsp water
1 c captain crunch cereal
1-1/2 c flour *divided*
1/2 tsp onion poweder
1/4 tsp paprika

1/2 c mayonnaise
1/2 c sour cream
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsely
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
1/4 Tbsp greek seasoning
1/2 c blue cheese dressing

Steps:

  • 1. Start by filleting the chicken breasts. Once you have achieved 6 breasts, slice the the chicken breasts vertically into strips. Slicing them as thin or thick as you like. Place in a bowl.
  • 2. To bowl add; seasonings, hotsauce and finally buttermilk. Place in fridge to marinate for approximatey 1/2 - 1 hr.
  • 3. Meanwhile, as chicken tenders are marinating, prepare you dip. In a small bowl add crumbled feta, blue cheese dressing, mayonnaise, sour cream, seasonings and parsley. Combine thoroughly and pour into a pretty bowl and set in fridge to chill till ready to serve.
  • 4. In a mini food processor or large one, add the 1 cup of Captain Crunch cereal and pulse till very flour like fine. Set aside. On three plates ( I used 2 shallow and 1 rimmed). To plate #1 add: 1 cup of flour, paprika and the onion powder, mix till thoroughly combined.
  • 5. 2nd plate: Add the eggs and water. 3rd plate: Add the Captain Crunch Cereal, Panko bread crumbs and the other 1/2 c of flour, mix till thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • 6. At this point, the chicken tenders should be ready. Heat your deep fryer or favorite pan w/ enough oil to deep fry. Bring temp to medium high heat.
  • 7. Drain the marinated chicken tenders. Using tongs or fingers. Dredge the chicken tenders, first into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally into the panko bread crumb mixture.
  • 8. Add to frying pan and fry on for 4-5 minutes on each side till golden brown.
  • 9. Remove to paper lined plate to drain, keep warm, and continue cooking the rest of the tenders.
  • 10. Serve with dip, fresh lemon slices and sliced veggies (celery, peppers) if desired. Enjoy!!

Tips:

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - If you don't have feta cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of soft cheese, such as cream cheese or goat cheese. - Be sure to finely chop the onion and garlic so that they distribute evenly throughout the dip. - If you like your dip spicy, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. - Serve the dip with a variety of dippers, such as pita chips, crackers, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

This spicy feta dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is creamy, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat. Serve it with your favorite dippers and enjoy!
