Have you watched Chopped on the Food Network? The contestants take everyday items and turn them into extraordinary dishes. I would be a complete mess on a show like that. Seriously, I just can’t imagine the pressure.
Sargento® is hosting a “Chopped at Home” contest. They challenged me to showcase my style as an at-home cook. The challenge was to use Sargento® Chef Blends™ Shredded 6 Cheese Italian, Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, Red Bell Pepper and Greek Yogurt (plus other necessary ingredients) to create a dish using Sargento Shredded Cheese.
Getting to cook at home without the cameras, viewers and judges is a little less stressful, right? I made this amazing Red Pepper Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken.
