Urgent Need help with 30 Min Chicken and Stuffing for Power Cooking Workshop?

[babywings76]

No one responded to my other thread, so I don't know if it's because no one has any advice, or that no one is seeing it, or what...but I'm begging for help! Please, someone, anyone... lol

I have my Power Cooking Workshop tomorrow. I'm going to make the 30 min chicken and while that cooks, show them how to do the 3 power cooking meals. I want to serve them something else to go w/ the chicken and I don't want to heat up my house w/ the garlic biscuit bites. Plus I think just doing the other recipes will keep me busy. So...I was thinking of doing the StoveTop Stuffing thing w/ the juices when the chicken comes out. I experimented w/ it yesterday, but the stuffing ended up really greasy and the consistency was weird. I don't know if there is some special recipe or trick to it. Anyone else know what to do? Or maybe I'll skip it and make a salad.

How about the homemade salsa? That will definetely not heat up the kitchen and will serve as an appetizer.

I made the Stove Top stuffing with the chicken juice last night. I only had 3/4 cup of the juice though so I used water for the other 3/4 cup. It wasn't greasy at all.

I didn't add any butter though like the box recipe calls for. I figured the juices looked like it had enough "grease" to not need more butter/fat added. Maybe that's the difference?

I didn't add butter either. Just the skin of the chicken gave off the fat. Did you then bake it for some time, or just wait a few minutes for it to soak up the water/juices and soften and then serve?

Um well, I didn't bake it. It did sit for longer than usual because in the meantime I had a brainless moment and grabbed the handle of another pan that was on the stove that I'd taken out of the oven just minutes before.

But other than the resting period while my hand soaked in ice water, no, I didn't really do anything other than what the directions for cooking it on the stove call for.

Thanks for letting me know how it worked out for you. Sorry about the burned hand! Ouch! I guess I'll just have to try it again sometime. I'll skip doing it today, because I decided to just make a Caesar salad and might do the biscuit bites. I'm going to see how crazy things feel at the time, if it'll make it too hectic or whatever.
