Chicken is a versatile protein, showing up on menus in many different forms. As part of our continuing Signature Series, we asked operators to share with us some of their popular chicken dishes.
Chicken & Shrimp Pasta - St. Andrews Estates North
This dish is representative of a family cookout and has a great smokiness, according to Chef Jose Zuniga.
Chicken Tamales - Legacy Retirement Communities, Lincoln, Neb.
Robert Darrah, foodservice director, says, “During our theme dinners, our guests enjoy these South-of-the-border flavors. Whether they are mild or fiery, they are always a hit. They are fun for staff to make and great to eat.”
Lakeside Ruby Club Panini - Georgia Southern University, Statesboro
One of the most popular sandwiches on campus, this panini is named after the lake that one of the university’s two dining commons overlooks. Foodservice Director Jeff Yawn says the panini can be made with chicken or turkey, but the key to the sandwich is that the poultry is deep-fried before carving.
Chicken a la Jessie - Whittier Health Network
This recipe was developed to incorporate more fruits into main dishes.
