Director Creating for June Shows: What Are You Planning?

[annew]

TIA!

Usually I offer a variety of choices. They may not all stay, but I did add on Cool and Crunchy Chicken Tacos. I already have on the Chipotle Chili Cornbread Bake, Bacon, Linguini & Tomato Toss, Zesty Ravioli Spinach. Then a choice of cool desserts.

Soon I think I will go to a choice of wraps and look up some older recipes for summer that I have liked in the past as well. In addition, I need to gather some grilling show recipes to offer. I may do the grilled pizza because the flexible turner will be good for that recipe!

Love to hear what others are thinking as well!

last night I cooked the ground meat in the DCB & everyone <3 'd the fact that they didn't have to heat up the kitchen in the summer!

The Pampered Chef ®
Jerk Chicken Salad
Recipe


1 tablespoon Garlic Oil or olive oil
1 tablespoon Jamaican Jerk Rub
1 pound chicken tenders
1 medium pineapple
1 red bell pepper
3 green onions (white and light green parts only)
2 heads romaine lettuce
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained
6 slices bacon, cooked, drained and crumbled

Dressing

2 limes
1/3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons pineapple preserves



In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk together oil and jerk rub with Stainless Whisk. Add chicken tenders; mix well to coat and set aside. Peel pineapple and cut in half lengthwise with Santoku Knife; reserve half for another use. Cut remaining pineapple in half lengthwise and remove core. Slice crosswise into ¼-inch slices. Heat Grill Pan over medium heat 5 minutes. Add chicken; cook 3-5 minutes on each side, turning once. Remove from pan. Add pineapple to pan. Cook 1 minute on each side, turning once; remove from pan. Cut chicken into bite-size pieces using Utility Knife; set chicken and pineapple aside.


Thinly slice bell pepper and green onions on Cutting Board with Measure Cups using Santoku Knife. Arrange 12 large lettuce leaves around Simple Additions® Large Round Platter. Chop remaining lettuce; set vegetables aside. Drain and rinse beans using Strainer; set aside.


For dressing, zest one lime using Microplane® Adjustable Grater. Juice both limes into Small Batter Bowl using Citrus Press. Add lime zest, mayonnaise and pineapple preserves to batter bowl; mix well.


Layer chopped lettuce, beans, bell pepper, chicken, pineapple, bacon and green onions over each lettuce leaf. Drizzle dressing over salad

Other favorites are the Tortelleni Toss and the Warm Lemon Pepper Salad.

I'm hoping to add a veggie platter and garden dip (From All The Best) as an app now that I have the new cool & serve tray. Or a fruit tray with the Cool Chocolate Fondue for dipping.

Other ideas for grilling shows:

Maybe grill pineapples so you could use the pineapple wedger. Ice Cream dipper for ice cream, topped with Pineapple Rum Sauce?

I also am curious about trying this recipe I got from Rachel Ray:

Grilled Strawberry Bread
Ingredients:
• 1 1/2 pounds strawberries, trimmed
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 baguette, split and sliced crosswise into thirds
Directions:
1. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium. In a large saucepan, mash together the strawberries, lemon juice and vinegar and cook over high heat until softened, 2 to 4 minutes.
2. Spread 2 tablespoons condensed milk on the cut sides of each baguette slice; let soak in 1 to 2 minutes. Grill the bread crust side down until warm, about 2 minutes; turn and grill until golden, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Top the grilled bread with the strawberries and let stand for a few minutes before serving.

I love to demo the mexican chicken lasagna, warm lemon pepper salad and fajitas. going to add the Harvest salad for summer too. I have several people wanting to do outdoor shows, which is not my preference. I am also doing a BBQ chicken salad that someone in my group made up using the BBQ chicken from the sandwiches, lettuce, red onion, feta, glazed nuts.

Can someone post the harvest chicken salad?

Chantelle,
Harvest Chicken salad is an old Celebrations theme show recipe from fall/winter 06. You can find it on consultants corner under Products and Recipes then Theme Cooking shows then Theme Shows Recipe Archives. I don't personally have it typed up and when you pull it up is isn't in a format that is easy to copy and paste. Although if the 2006 season's best is still available online you should find it in there also. It's a pretty good recipe and one that I believe I was doing 30-min chicken with to start.
