Mexican fondue loaded with flavor. Additional fillings could be added to this easily: shrimp, crawfish, black olives, etc. Great over chips, baked potatoes, or just about anything.

Ingredients

1 cup chicken broth
2 pounds shredded American cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into cubes
3 links Mexican chorizo, casing removed and meat crumbled
1 (10 ounce) package sliced button mushrooms
2 tomatoes, seeded and diced
½ yellow onion, diced
2 jalapenos, seeded and diced
2 green onions, diced
1 clove garlic, or to taste, minced
8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Bring chicken broth to a boil in a pot; add American cheese, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese melts into the broth, about 5 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; saute chicken and chorizo in oil until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes. Add mushrooms, tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, green onions, and garlic; saute until all vegetables are tender, 7 to 10 minutes.
Stir chicken mixture into the melted cheese; bring to a simmer. Stir Cheddar cheese into the mixture and cook until completely melted, about 5 minutes.

Cook's Note:

Processed cheese food (such as Velveeta(R)) works well in this recipe in place of the American cheese.
