Nick *adores* Swiss Chalet.

It's tradition to get it at the airport before he leaves from his visits.

It's one thing I'm really going to miss too!!!

I found online a recipe for the sauce...maybe roast a nice chicken and make some sauce? Enjoy!!!

3 C. water

1/4 C. tomato juice

1 chicken bouillon cube

1 1/2 t. paprika

1 t. sugar, granulated

3/4 t. salt

1/4 t. basil, dried

1/4 t. parsley

1/4 t. poultry seasoning

1/4 t. thyme

1/4 t. ginger, ground

1/4 t. dry mustard

1/4 t. onion powder

1 bay leaf

3/4 t. Worcestershire sauce

6 drops Tabasco sauce

2 t. lemon juice

1 T. cornstarch

1 T. water

1 T. vegetable oil

Anne's note: Swiss Chalet is a chain of Canadian chicken restaurants. This sauce is brushed on the chicken before cooking and served at the table in small containers to dip the chicken pieces in.

Pour cups of water and tomato juice into 1 1/2 qt saucepan. Add bouillon cube, paprika, sugar, salt, basil, parsley, poultry seasoning, thyme, ginger, mustard, onion powder, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco. Stir well or whisk to mix. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Stir in lemon juice.

Mix cornstarch and 1 Tbsp water to smooth paste. Add to mixture and cook, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes until sauce thickens. Whisk in oil.

Makes about 3 cups

as anybody tried that recipe?

[~Laura and Nick~ 5]

I have not tried it Marilyn but people have said it's pretty darn close..it won an award in some challenge in Toronto last year or something.

This one lady I found on a forum said this:

"I tried the posted swiss chalet recipe and didn't like it so my mission was to perfect it and I think I did.

3 cups good chicken stock (Campbell's)

1/4 cup tomato juice

1/8 cup Worcestershire

1 tsp paprika

1.5 tsp thyme

1.5 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1/2 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp poultry seasoning

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp sugar

4 drops Tabasco

simmer for 5 - 10 minutes

add 1/2 tsp lemon juice

mix 1 tsp of cornstarch with a little water ,add the thicken

1 bay leaf

tell me if you like it"

So...I guess all we can do is try it out and see how it is...

The fries ARE good. Though I did get some crappy fries AND chicken at one of the SC's in Burlington. Which was a real bummer because that's the one I took my hubby to after raving about the stuff. Murphy's Law and all. lol
