I just received this email and thought I would share, since we are getting into the grilling season. :D

Hi Ladies,

I have been a consultant for almost 16 years and every summer I have done this recipe for many years. A Pampered Chef friend of mine created this recipe years ago and it is so easy!

It is such a crowd pleaser! I promote the Grilling shows as an option to learn something else you can do on the grill that is easy and pretty much a "set it and forget it" for 20 minutes.

For years I used the tin foil pans until one of my awesome team leaders said why wouldn't you use the Roasting Pan - it is no different than using it on a gas stove and it sells cookware. And she is right...I tried it a couple of summers ago - and everyone wanted the roasting pan for Holiday time and if we are lucky we find out there is a cookware special, it books even more shows!

I also promote the shows for those that have gardens "Do you ever wonder what to do with all those vegetables that come all at once? Well, not only do I have an awesome recipe but if you are having summer barbeques it is a great easy way to feed a lot of people.

Oh, and a few other things - it shows a lot of products! It also takes the stress out of those that "fear" the grill and it is totally yummy!

If you have any questions, let me know

Grillin’ N Chillin’ - Grilled Chicken Pasta Caesar

1 lb colored Rotini pasta
1 large Green Pepper
1 large onion
2 large carrots
1 lb boneless chicken breast
1 can diced tomatoes
Other veggies can be added: broccoli, pea pods, zucchini, summer squash or asparagus
1 bottles of light Caesar dressing
2-3 garlic cloves
Fresh Parmesan Cheese
Optional: Black Olives


1 Cook Pasta separately
2 Cut up chicken into small chunks & marinate in Caesar Dressing
3 Meanwhile, cut up the variety of different fresh vegetables
4 Have heavy duty foil or 13 x 9 or larger pan or the Pampered Chef Roasting Pan
5 Place marinated chicken on bottom
6 Place rest of vegetables on top including garlic
7 Cover with foil and place on a grill on a High setting to get it boiling quicker
8 Cook for about 20 – check to see if vegetables are cooked as desired – may need about 5 more minutes
9 In a large bowl, place cooked pasta
10 Pour chicken/vegetables over the top of pasta and mix
11 Grate with Parmesan Cheese

Notes:

This also can be cooked in a Skillet

Zesty Italian Dressing can be used instead of Caesar Dressing for marinate
 
I would definitly have to try this at home before doing this at a show, but it sounds delicious.. and rather simple.
 
Just wondering... But, what do you do to sell products while you are waiting for the food to cook?

You can do the ticket game or your booking/recruiting slide. As if anyone has any questions, talk about upcoming specials.
 
OOOOOhhh, thank you for sharing this!! Living in Hawaii, we grill out at least 4 nights out of the week!
 
Bumping....
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some easy grilling recipes I can try this summer?

Some easy grilling recipes to try this summer include grilled vegetable skewers, marinated chicken breasts, and shrimp tacos. You can also experiment with grilled pizzas topped with fresh ingredients or classic burgers with unique toppings.

How can I make my grilled meats more flavorful?

To enhance the flavor of your grilled meats, consider marinating them for a few hours before grilling. Use a mixture of oil, acid (like vinegar or citrus juice), and spices to create a flavorful marinade. Additionally, seasoning your meats with a dry rub or using a brine can also add depth to the flavor.

What tools do I need for grilling?

Essential grilling tools include a good quality grill (charcoal or gas), grilling tongs, a spatula, a meat thermometer, and a basting brush. You may also want to have a grill brush for cleaning, skewers for kabobs, and a grill basket for smaller items like vegetables.

Can I grill desserts? If so, how?

Yes, you can grill desserts! Some popular options include grilled peaches or pineapples, which caramelize beautifully on the grill. You can also make grilled s'mores by toasting marshmallows over the grill and assembling them with chocolate and graham crackers. Just be sure to keep an eye on them to avoid burning!

What are some tips for grilling vegetables?

When grilling vegetables, cut them into uniform sizes for even cooking. Marinate them or toss them in olive oil and seasonings to enhance their flavor. Using a grill basket or skewers can help prevent smaller pieces from falling through the grates. Grill over medium heat and turn them occasionally for even char and tenderness.
