Recently, MyBlogSpark and Progresso gave me a wonderful opportunity, which will help with our goals for the New Year. They sent me prize pack conisisting of the following: Progresso panko, a carton of Progresso broth, a measuring cup, slotted spoon, soup ladle and a sheet pan for baking (talk about an AWESOME prize pack!) It also included a Progresso Soups & More recipe book, which featured delicous recipes (including some that used the panko bread crumbs!)
ThriftyGuy and I used our set to make (healthy) delicous chicken - cooked in the broth and then breaded with panko and a variety of seasonings we threw together from the kitchen - Yummmm!!!
Intrigued by the idea of using panko and broth? Here is some helpful and interesting information from MyBlogSpark regarding these great products!
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 like these products for several reasons: they are inexpensive (especially with the coupons!!), easy to use, and a healthy way to make your meals taste delicious!
If you’ve never cooked with panko before, now is your chance because it’s never been easier. 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.
Progresso broths 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.
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 ProgressBroth.com for additional tips, recipes and videos from chef Chiarello. There is even a great recipe for Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders which both kids and adults will enjoy – we hope you’ll try it out and let us know what you think.
Also available on ProgressoFoods.com is a coupon for $1.00*off any two Progresso products (excluding Soup and Broth) . At ProgressoBroth.com you’ll find a coupon for $.50 off a package of broth (this coupon is also located on ProgressoFoods.com!)
