Tyson Grilled & Ready Whole Breast Fillets Giveaway & Recipes – CLOSED

July 25th, 2010 • Related • Filed Under

I’m not one for using a lot of convenience foods because they tend to be expensive. But, they’re certainly less expensive than feeding a family at a restaurant, so it’s a good idea to keep a few convenience items around to avoid the temptation to eat out just because you’re short on time.

Tyson® Grilled & Ready™ Whole Breast Fillets are one of my favorite new finds in the convenience item category. Available in the grocer’s freezer section, the new Tyson® Grilled & Ready™ Whole Breast Fillets are fully-cooked, lean, boneless, skinless recipe-ready chicken breasts. The perfect protein for any entrée, salad or sandwich, they make creating delicious, nourishing meals a snap.  Plus, they are 98% fat free and contain no preservatives, and I found them to be very tender.

I used the fillets recently to make chicken quesadillas and to make a chicken pizza. Here is a recipe from culinary expert and cookbook author, Holly Clegg:

Grilled Chicken with Watermelon Salsa

Recipe serves 4

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 6-7 minutes

Ingredients

4 Tyson® Grilled & ReadyTM Whole Breast Fillets

4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) Hoisin sauce

2 cups chopped watermelon

1/2 cup chopped red onion

3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1/4 cup reduced fat feta cheese

1 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

1 teaspoon olive oil

Preparation Instructions

1. Coat each chicken breast with Hoisin sauce and place in microwave safe dish. Follow microwave directions on Grilled & Ready packaging to heat.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with corn on the cob or quick couscous cooked in orange juice and tossed with green onions.

2. In small bowl mix together watermelon, red onion, mint, feta, seasoned rice vinegar and

olive oil. Place salsa on top of chicken breast and serve.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with corn on the cob or quick couscous cooked in orange juice and tossed with green onions.
