Aaahhh Bisto!


Last week I had a great time visiting the test kitchens of Premier Foods and being treated to a demonstration, followed by tasting 8 recipes made by the lovely Sue.  Each recipe had one of the flavours of Bisto gravy granules included or served with it.



Sue and her hob busy cooking lots for us to taste.

Midweek Chicken Roast with Bisto Chicken Gravy
This weekend I stayed at my daughter's house for a couple of days and we decided to make the 'Midweek Chicken Roast with Bisto Chicken Gravy recipe. It is really simple. You leave it all to cook in one roasting dish and after about an hour you have a really tasty , simple and cheap hot dinner. The recipe called for chicken thighs to be wrapped in the bacon but I had three large chicken breast fillets and I sliced each one into four slices and wrapped each one in the bacon. The gravy really finished off the dish perfectly.




Son-in-law was very happy to come home from work to this for his dinner!

An interesting fact that I learned at this event is that the Bisto Favourite Gravy granules is suitable for vegetarians!



The stars of the show!!
