Discover the Perfect Chicken Quantity for Your Next Power Cooking Show

[mrssyvo]

I am doing a power cooking show next week, and I am preparing the shopping list for the hostess. For the 3 chicken recipes we are doing, I will need 9 cups of cooked chicken- how many raw chicken breasts is that?

Wow, that's a good question. Those huge mongo chicken breats that seem to be sold these days....I would guess maybe 7 or 8? If you're using Market Day chicken breasts that are individually frozen, those seem smaller so I'd probably use 9 or 10. Sounds like a lot of chicken!! I need to dig up my chicken power cooking recipes...which ones are you doing?



P.S. It's so weird that your info at the left doesn't say Lombard, IL anymore!!!

I would say 3 per recipe. (approx 1 cup each)

I changed my address in my profile today- it does look weird, doesn't it. I have my last show in Lombard next week (the power cooking show)and busy trying to build my business here in Cedar Lake.
I have attached the power cooking file that I allowed her to chose from. of course, she chose the most difficult ones, but oh, well. I am going to have her cook the chicken prior to my arrival, since it is something she can do the night before. She should be able to poach them in water the night before. I think I will have her get 2 bags of frozen chicken breasts. That would be 6 pounds. Do you thinkthat would be enough?

measurements1 chicken breast = about 1 cup

That sounds like plenty to me!

If you are having her cook them ahead, be sure to tell her to "barely simmer" the water. If you boil it, you will get very tough chicken! Almost a simmer (a few slow bubbles here and there) will help it to stay tender!
