Progresso Inspiration and Prize Pack

October 20, 2009 By Erin Tales

If you´re looking for some helpful cooking tips and exciting new recipes, visit Progressofoods.com and Progressobroth.com for celebrity chef Michael Chiarello´s expertise on casual weekend entertaining, preparing a holiday feast or inspiration for a weeknight meal – all using Progresso panko bread crumbs and Progresso broth.

I’ve cooked with breadcrumbs before – but never Panko. Progresso´s panko is a flaky bread crumb which adds a light crispiness to your food and is available in two flavors, plain and Italian. This was my first time using Panko and I was excited! I decided to make some oven-friend chicken tenders. This is actually how I normally do chicken tenders, since it’s healthier than frying. But there is a recipe for them on ProgressoFoods.com – so check it out! When I followed his recipe as opposed to my on-a-whim way, they really just came out delicious and the boys loved them.

You can also purchase Progresso broths, which are are 100% natural and use high quality ingredients to achieve a great homemade taste. They are fat free, gluten free, contain no preservatives, no added MSG and no artificial flavors. Progresso broth is available in chicken and reduced sodium chicken and beef flavors. I used the broth to make my super-veggie soup. I actually got the recipe from my P90x book – it is so delicious!

Chef Michael Chiarello appears daily on the Food Network and can also be seen on Top Chef Masters. In addition, he runs and owns Bottega Restaurant in Napa Valley, CA. Below are just a few of Chef Chiarello´s tips to help you create quick, flavorful meals you and your family will enjoy.

Sample Panko Tips:

* Breading 1-2-3: Panko adds the perfect light crunch to fish fillets, chicken breasts and pork chops. Dip in flour, then beaten egg and coat both sides in Panko before frying or baking

* Faux Fried: Instead of frying, bake Panko-coated chicken in a 400F oven for 20 minutes to get the same crispy crunch without the fat

Sample Broth Tips:

* Give New Life to Leftovers: Time in the fridge can steal moisture and flavor; drizzle a little broth over last night´s pasta or casserole before reheating

* Better than H20: Water adds moisture, not flavor; replace water with broth when you cook potatoes, rice and grains

Check out ProgressoFoods.com and ProgressoBroth.com for additional tips, recipes and videos from chef Chiarello. There are recipes for crab cakes, spinach arancini, brocolli soup, pork soup and white bean soup. Next on my to-do list is the spinach arancini – it looks awesome!
