WendyE said:Ugh! I can't find anything on a Chicken Your Way cooking show on CC?! I need recipes and instructions and printouts (for my theme shows book) and can't find anything on our website. Isn't this a fairly new promotion? There is no theme show listed called Chicken Your Way. I have come up with an ingrediant list when searching, which gave me the knowledge that there were side dishes offered to serve with it, but no info on the side dishes or how to prepare them for a demo. Anyone have any links or files with this info?
For a Grill Pan & Press gathering with 5 guests, consider including the following items: 2 lbs of protein (like chicken, steak, or fish), 3-4 cups of assorted vegetables (such as bell peppers, zucchini, and onions), 1-2 cups of marinades or seasonings, and any necessary side dishes like rice or salad. Don’t forget to have enough oil for cooking and any dipping sauces you might want to serve.
A general guideline is to plan for about 6-8 ounces of protein per person, which would total around 2.5 to 3 lbs for 5 guests. For vegetables, aim for about 1-2 cups per person, so you would need around 5-10 cups total. Adjust based on your guests' appetites and preferences.
Some of the best proteins for the Grill Pan & Press include chicken breasts, pork chops, steak, and fish fillets. These options grill well and can be seasoned in various ways to suit different tastes. You can also consider plant-based proteins like tofu or tempeh for vegetarian guests.
Yes, you can prepare some items in advance. Marinate your proteins a few hours or the night before for enhanced flavor. You can also chop vegetables ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Just make sure to keep everything properly sealed to maintain freshness.
For cooking with the Grill Pan & Press, you will need basic utensils such as tongs, a spatula, and a basting brush for applying marinades. Additionally, having a cutting board and knife for prepping ingredients is essential. Make sure to have oven mitts handy for handling the hot pan.
