Delicious Chicken Breasts & $1246 in Sales!

[ChefBeckyD]

Any recipes for vegeterians for the DCB? Thanks.

The quick Turkey chili could be made with Boca Crumbles.....

Are you asking for Microwave recipes, or just any recipes? I have made lots of stuff in the oven with it.......Baked Beans, Stuffing, Sweet Potato Casserole......

Thanks for the recipe file. I had not sold any of these...I always talk about it and how much I love it...until my Mom's show last week. She bought one for my sister for Christmas using her half-price and plans to take advantage of her booking benefit this month to get one for herself. This is a great product and the fact that it will fit in the microwave makes it even better...and the food tastes good and not like rubber.

Thanks for all your great tips ladies! I'm hoping to start selling more of these too; to customers-not just hosts.

Hmmm, i was thinking about crossing selling the DCB with the Family Burrito recipe. My host didn't think the whole chicken would go over well with her guests. I was thinking of demoing something with the pizza stone with handles and thought this would be a good recipe. Reading these posts, I thought what a great way to show a quick and easy recipe. At what temperature should the chicken get up to? You're suppose to have 3 cups diced cooked chicken. How many chicken breasts would this be? A pound?

Bumping - as I just wanted to see if someone could answer my chicken question.

I would do three chicken breasts in the DCB for 8 minutes...or til the juices run clear.

At my show on the 16th I am making the Clubhouse Chicken Squares. The host is really picky and will not eat anything spicy (didnt want to try any of the new recipes)...so fine with me! I'm going to cook the chicken first in the DCB - she has 16 confirmed so far and I'm keeping my fingers crossed this goes over well!

After reading this I had to try it. I had previously tried the whole chicken & it was good but we use boneless skinless chicken breast more than whole chickens. I had 5 chicken breasts...3 fit in the DCB. I did them like Carolyn said with the Rosemary seasoning. Very good!! I didn't want to wait until the DCB cooled to cook the other 2 so I decided to experiment. I put one chicken breast in a small oval baker. On one of them I used some french fry seasoning that my hubby wanted me to try (a friend uses it on her chicken) along with the salt, pepper & some granulated garlic. On the other one I used our (discontinued) lemon pepper seasoning along with the salt, pepper & some granulated garlic. The 2 small oval bakers took 4-5 minutes to cook. I was completely amazed that something that took such a short time to cook was soooooo good! I'm going to get more chicken this week so I can experiment with all the other spices & rubs we have!!! I know we want to sell the DCBs but the small oval bakers is a good option for people who are cooking for 1 person.Thanks Carolyn for sharing your recipe.

Did you just put the chicken in the baker and place in microwave?? any water? Did you cover it with something? this is a great alternative for those guest that might not want to purchase the DCB due to cost!

I love the idea of suggesting the smaller stone for those who are only cooking for one (or 2 seniors).

For the guest who might not want to purchase due to cost - have them do a show this month and get it for less than 2 small oval bakers! If they can't/won't do a show in October then suggest a catalog show. Show them how they can get the deal on the DCB with only a few orders ($150 - holiday shopping...).

Often people buy the roasted chickens at the store to "save time". Do the math. How many times would you have to make your own chicken in the DCB to cover the difference in cost between buying the baker and getting a raw chicken that takes 30 minutes to cook and stopping on your way home from work for a precooked one (often 30 minutes with the extra stop and checkout wait)?

Add in the value of making ribs at home in the baker VS going to a restaurant and so on.

First - I sell DCB's at every single show! I have made it a part of all my demos! My favorite, simple demo - which sells both stoneware and cookware - is the 30 minute Chicken w/ the Garlic biscuit bites. I have never had a more powerful demo than that one! I have been saying that no one I know, even if they love cook, and especially of they don't love it, has time to spend an hour or more making dinner - but at the same time, we feel that "mommy guilt" if we are feeding our family frozen, convenience, and take-out foods. At my house I have found that the DCB is a solution to that problem and that using it, in 30 minutes or less, I can feed my family a sit-down dinner of REAL FOOD REAL FAST! I then list several of the recipes that can be made....including a dessert!


Second - Thanks Beth for compiling those recipes!

The best part is that it is ALL TRUE! I feel that way too. It's even easy to cook for a big family dinner (I did 2 tenderloins and that salad or I'll show them the jullienne veggies in 12" skillet with our oil) FAST and yummy

I just put them in the small oval baker with the spices. No cover. I've made some more since my first post. On a couple of them I rubbed some of our garlic infused canola oil on them before putting on the spices. I tried our Crushed Peppercorn & Garlic rub & the Citrus & Basil Rub & the Smoky Barbecue. I think the Citrus & Basil was my favorite.

I haven't tried Carolyn's suggestion of putting the spices on them earlier in the day yet but I think it's a really good idea. It will give the spices a chance to get all the way through the chicken.

I agree with Beth, explain how quickly they save money with the DCB over eating out, getting fast food etc. The DCB is going to be more versatile because they can make a whole chicken or numerous other recipes. But the small oval baker is great if have a family who like different flavors. Depending on the size of your microwave you could make 3 or 4 different flavors at one time.
