"The last thing I want to do on a hot summer day is heat up my kitchen by
using the oven or stove, but I still want to get a delicious and well-balanced
meal on the table for my family," said Robin Miller, chef and host of Food
Network's Quick Fix Meals with Robin Miller. "With my simple tips to keep the
kitchen cool, and by using recipe-ready protein, like Tyson Grilled Chicken
Strips and Steak Strips, I can create light, quick and easy meals perfect for
this time of year."
Robin's simple summer meals, like Asian Lettuce Wraps and Steak and Mushroom
Salad, use Tyson Grilled Chicken Strips and Steak Strips, which help to cut
down on preparation time and keep the kitchen cool. Available frozen,
refrigerated and in a variety of flavors and seasonings, Tyson Grilled Chicken
Strips and Steak Strips are an excellent source of protein. They also can be a
key option when combined with other seasonal ingredients to create summer
favorites.
Following are Robin Miller's simple tips to help families beat the heat during
those summer scorchers:
-- Delicious Chilled Creations: Cool off the family on a hot day with
snacks and meals that are served chilled and require very little
preparation time. For example, try Robin Miller's recipe for
Chicken, Strawberry and Cucumber Salad made with lean Tyson Grilled
Chicken Breast Strips.
-- A.M. Meal Assembly: Take a half hour in the morning to start your
dinner
prep before it heats up outside. Get started by chopping and prepping
produce, making sauces and dressings and precooking pasta and rice.
For
example, to make Mediterranean Chicken Orzo, precook the orzo, add in
Tyson Grilled Chicken Breast Strips and the additional ingredients,
and
place in the fridge. This approach will keep the kitchen cool and
allow
extra time to enjoy the day since the prep work is already done. Then,
when mealtime rolls around, take the meal right out of the fridge and
serve.
-- Picnic Perfect: Picnics are a great way to enjoy light, summer meals.
But before leaving, make sure to properly pack the cooler. Keep foods
cold by packing the cooler straight from the fridge, and pack wet
items
(like fruit salads and dips) in sealed plastic containers to prevent
leaking. Also, make sure not to under pack. A fully packed cooler
stays
much colder than a half-empty one.
"With summer upon us, families are looking for meals that can be cooked
quickly and easily without the hassle of using an oven or stove," said Rachel
Marler, director of marketing for Tyson Foods, Inc. "We're so proud to partner
with Robin Miller to help show families how Tyson Grilled Chicken Strips and
Steak Strips can be a versatile and convenient ingredient for delicious summer
meals that are ready in just minutes."
