●チキン入りのお雑煮、用意して待っとるから。

― I'll have some New Year's soup with chicken waiting.

Zōni (雑煮), often with the honorific "o-" as o-zōni, is a Japanese soup containing mochi rice cakes. The dish is strongly associated with the Japanese New Year and its tradition of osechi ceremonial foods. Zōni is considered the most auspicious of the dishes eaten on New Year's Day. The preparation of zōni varies both by household and region.
Common additions to the soup include chicken, fish or meatballs; leafy vegetables such as komatsuna or spinach; mitsuba (a Japanese herb similar to parsley); kamaboko such as naruto and carrot flakes for colour; and flakes of yuzu peel for its citrus fragrance. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zōni)

●年越しそばはおあずけだな。

Toshikoshi soba (年越し蕎麦), year-crossing noodle, is Japanese traditional noodle bowl dish eaten on New Year's Eve. This custom lets go of hardship of the year because soba noodles are easily cut while eating.
The tradition started around Edo period (1603-1867) and there are several theories believed that long soba noodles symbolize a long life.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toshikoshi_soba)

●七草粥には戻るからって班長に伝えておいて。

The Festival of Seven Herbs or Nanakusa no sekku (Japanese: 七草の節句) is the long-standing Japanese custom of eating seven-herb rice porridge (nanakusa-gayu) on January 7 (Jinjitsu).
The custom of eating nanakusa-gayu on this day, to bring longevity and health, developed in Japan from a similar ancient Chinese custom, intended to ward off evil. Since there is little green at that time of the year, the young green herbs bring color to the table and eating them suits the spirit of the New Year. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanakusa-no-sekku)

It is a regular programme on TV Tokyo on Monday evenings.

They then attempt to follow the interviewees on their journeys around Japan, in a process called mitchaku shuzai (密着取材, lit. "close-contact reporting").

○(～で)ご飯3杯はいける
　(～ de) gohan sanbai ha ikeru
― I could eat three bowls of rice (along with ～)

The traditional Japanese meal is a combination of rice, soup, and okazu.
By indicating how many bowls of rice, the staple food, you could eat along with your favorite, the phrase expresses how much you like it.
The number of 3 just means adequate amount.

And chicken is more familiar to the Japanese than turkey in Christmas dishes.

From December 1974, KFC Japan began to promote fried chicken as a Christmas meal. Eating KFC as a Christmas time meal has since become a widely practised custom in Japan. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KFC_in_Japan)

Have a look at this website for further details.

Okazu is often translated as "side dish" but includes main dish.
Also this is used as a slang term meaning jerk-off material.
Though she doesn't mean that here.
