Raise your hands if you’re spending a lot more time in the kitchen. OH I SEE the hands waving and the dirty dishes piling up. I’ve never spent so much time in my kitchen, but don’t get me wrong, I love to cook…its the cleaning-up afterwards I dread. During this time, I’ve been having fun experimenting with different flavors and most importantly, getting my kids more involved in the kitchen.
Chicken is a staple in my household. Its versatile and there’s so many creative ways to make a healthy, delicious meal. Do you have a favorite chicken dish?
I’ve got an easy recipe to share with you, that’s been kid-approved, requires less time cooking, creates less dishes to clean…AND get this, a recipe that you can make with your kid(s)! My boys did most of the work.
Pretzel Crusted Chicken Skewers with Foster Farms Air Chilled Breast Tenders is my family’s new favorite way to do chicken. It’s so delicious and quick to make. We spent less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying our food. And because the chicken tenders are on skewers, less dishes to clean!
Foster Farms Air Chilled Chicken
Next time you’re shopping, look for this package of Foster Farms Air-Chilled Chicken. You won’t regret it. Air-Chilling is a method for cooling chicken during processing, with benefits that include better taste and texture, and most importantly…faster cooking time!
What does this mean?
Since excess water is not absorbed during air-chilling (in comparison to water-chilled chicken,) the natural juices in air-chilled chicken are not diluted and the texture is unaltered, which leads to more flavorful and tender pieces of meat. Because air-chilled chicken doesn’t absorb excess water, it tends to cook faster than when chicken is water-chilled.
