Halal Snack Pack

When our chefs told us they wanted to make Halal Snack Packs, little did we know it would be a full meal occasion! The HSP, as it is known by afficiandos, apparently started in Australia and took off through digital conversations as people began sharing their HSP photos online. Find out more in our story about their origins, or simply make your own version. Just be sure to snap a photo and let us know how it turns out @FoodChannel.

We used marinated grilled chicken for our snack pack; this marinade recipe also works for grilled lamb or steak.

Ingredients

Marinated Grilled Chicken:
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
3 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons fresh flat leaf parsley, fine chopped
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast filets, trimmed
Garlic Sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon each: salt and black pepper
Snack Pack Assembly:
1 pound frozen French fries, deep fried or baked
1 1/2 cup grated mild cheese, such as Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
As needed, Marinated Grilled Chicken (see recipe)
As needed, smoky BBQ sauce
As needed, sriracha or chili sauce
As needed, Garlic Sauce (see recipe)

Preparation

Marinated Grilled Chicken
Combine marinade ingredients; transfer to zip-lock bag, add chicken filets, close bag and tumble to coat with marinade. Refrigerate overnight.
Remove marinated chicken filets, discard marinade and grill chicken over medium heat for 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. Cool slightly.
Slice grilled chicken diagonally and rough-chop into bite size pieces; reserve.
Garlic Sauce:
Combine sauce ingredients in small bowl and whisk to blend. Transfer to squeeze bottle if desired. Cover and chill to hold (can be made ahead).
Snack Pack Assembly
Layer hot French fries in shallow sharable container; top with grated cheese and marinated grilled chicken pieces.
Drizzle BBQ sauce, sriracha sauce and garlic sauce in a zig-zag pattern over the top of snack pack. Serve immediately.
