Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    To broil chicken, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning once and brushing with 3 tablespoons salad dressing during last 2 minutes of cooking on each side.
  • tip 2
    1n 1936, Robert Cobb created his namesake salad at the famous Brown Derby Restaurant in Hollywood. Our version includes baby corn on the cob – no pun, but a tribute, intended.
  • tip 3
    Cobb salad is a classic composed salad in which the ingredients are not tossed together but attractively arranged on the dinner plate. The dressing is drizzled over most composed salads.
  • tip 4
    A whole turkey tenderloin can be used in place of the chicken. Be sure to cook the tenderloin until it is no longer pink in the center.
