Default DCB Show

Hi Everyone

I have a host hosting a show in January. I booked this show off another, and my host there got the DCB as her free item.

She hasn't used it yet, and has suggested that we do a recipe in this at the January show.

So what can I make in it, that can be made in the show time/format?!

Fajitas
Microwave White Chicken Chili
10 Min Pork Tenderloin

Those are the DCB recipes I have done at shows. The fajitas are the best!

30 Minute Roast Chicken w/ garlic parmesan biscuit bites in the saute pan.

This is my very best show for bookings! It shows off DCB, Cookware, and SA - it's a guarenteed bookings show!

I've been doing the Chicken Tortilla Casserole and it's a HUGE hit, especially since you can have dinner on the dinner in 13-15 minutes!!

Fantastic. These are great, loving the sound of all of them!

Definitely a savoury recipe, as I don't do desserts at my shows!

Like the sound of the tortillas, although I have neither the micro-cooker or the salad choppers, so could be a problem.

I'll look at the tenderloin recipe though, that sounds doable!

I'm guessing my host will need a large microwave though to fit the DCB in? Does anyone know the measurements off hand?

Go to Consultant's Corner, look up the theme show for "The Incredible 30 Minute Chicken" and "Pork Tenderloin in under 10 minutes" (or whatever it's called), and you'll find the recipes, tips for your shows, and the microwave measurements there - All in cute little flyers that you can print off for your reference. You won't find the fajitas recipe there though, as that was informally developed by various consultants.

1 can Grands Biscuits (8 count - any kind)
1/2 stick of butter
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbls. Italian Seasoning
1 Clove garlic


Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in 8" or 10" saute pan. Grate in parmesan cheese, sprinkle in seasoning, press in garlic. Cut biscuits in to quarters, and arrange over the top of the butter mixture, then stir to coat biscuits. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Slide out onto round dots plate, pour any extra butter mixture over the top, and serve with small tongs.


This is a GREAT demo that everyone loves. In fact, it's a most requested recipe - so I put it on the back of my business cards! I use a ton of products when demoing this recipe too.

10" saute pan
Microplane grater
garlic press
Italian Seasoning
Easy Read Measuring Spoon
Forged Utility Knife
Cutting Board
Small Mix n Scraper
Oven Mitt
Cooling Rack
Dots Plate
Small Bamboo Tongs
kitchen timer

Like I said, I do this demo along with the chicken - do the chicken first, put it in the micro, then do the biscuit demo - that takes about 15 minutes. then put the biscuits in the oven, go over all of the housekeeping stuff (like host bonuses, upcoming specials, the guest special, theme shows, etc...) Then, take the chicken out of the micro, and show it to everyone, cover it to sit for a few minutes. Take the biscuits out, plate them, pass them around, and cut up the chicken.

While everyone is eating - explain the checkout procedure, do a drawing, and you are done!

Recipe


1 poblano pepper
1 1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 tbsp Southwestern Seasoning Mix
1/4 tsp salt
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups thick and chunky salsa
4 cups broken tortilla chips
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend
Snipped fresh cilantro (optional)



Remove stem and seeds from poblano pepper using Utility Knife; slice into thin strips. Arrange poblano strips evenly over bottom of Deep Dish Baker. Thinly slice chicken using Utility Knife. Combine chicken, seasoning mix and salt in Classic Batter Bowl. Arrange chicken over poblano strips. Cover baker with 15-in. square of Parchment Paper, tucking corners of paper under baker. Microwave on HIGH 4 minutes; stir using Mix ‘N Scraper® to separate chicken strips. Cover; microwave an additional 4-6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.


Drain and rinse black beans using small Colander. Stir beans and salsa into chicken mixture. Gently stir in tortilla chips with Small Mix ‘N Scraper®. Grate cheese over baker using Deluxe Cheese Grater. Microwave, uncovered, on HIGH 2-3 minutes or until cheese is melted. If desired, snip cilantro using Kitchen Shears; sprinkle over casserole.

The Chicken Tortilla Casserole needs more respect! (Make it without the cheese, add a can of drained whole kernel corn and use chicken breast for a somewhat lighter version. And substitute an onion for the poblano pepper if you need to.) It is sooo good and makes great "planned overs" for work lunches. I am having some today. Yum!

I think she was saying to not use cheese to make it "lighter". I'd just use a lowfat cheese instead.

I think I'll make this tomorrow. I can't today - because I need my DCB for my show tonight!

Yep, that was what I was saying. I had planned to add the cheese later to the individual containers that I packed for lunches but I forgot and we never missed it.

Barbeque Chicken Sandwiches!

I always sell the salad choppers with this recipe. Just microwave 3 chicken breaks for 9 minutes (or 12 min for 4 chicken breasts), and then have your guests shred them. Use tools to make barbeque sauces.

I get great reviews from this and it is sooo easy and inexpensive!
