REFLECTION…
For this lab we had to create our very own chicken salad sandwich recipe with a filling to go inside. I decided to go with shredded chicken for my protein and I went with a variety of different veggies like lettuce, carrots, red and yellow peppers as well. We also had to choose some different spices that would be chosen specifically for our chicken to help give it some extra flavour, the spices I went with were Cumin, paprika, 1 bay leaf, poultry seasoning, red pepper flakes and some salt and pepper.
What went well for me was cooking the chicken which was pretty new for me because I haven’t really practised cooking with meat before but I was pretty happy with how it came out, I also think my knife skills also improved a bit due to having to cut up all the different veggies that I had picked out before hand. Finally I believe the final product came out mostly the way I hoped it would, it was creamy, crunchy and was packed with flavour.
I think next time I need to work on being a little faster getting the recipes done, I also believe I can improve on my confidence a little bit and try to follow my instincts a bit more, I will try and improve on these skills because with these skills mastered it will help me become a better chef in the future.
Overall, I was very happy with how the dish turned out and I would definitely make it again in the future, I would also share it with my family because I would like to show them some of the amazing things I’m making throughout this course.
For these reasons I would give the recipe a 4.5/5
