0:00
- Hey y'all, I am continuing on with the promise
0:04
I made to Jamie about doing more cooking for children.
0:09
And, you know, it's good if you can...
0:12
It's so hard to get little ones to eat a well-balanced meal.
0:19
because they're all addicted to French fries
0:23
And Bobby 'bout works himself into a tither
0:28
making sure he cooks, like, fresh salmon.
0:33
Night before last he was cooking skirt steak for 'em.
0:37
I mean, he makes sure they have their sweet potatoes
0:40
and they will eat broccoli.
0:42
But, so if they will help you make this wrap,
0:48
I'd almost be willing to bet
0:49
that they'd be willing to eat it.
0:53
Pinky promise. (laughs)
0:55
All right, so I wanna tell y'all
0:57
how to preserve your lettuce.
0:59
I was a real bozo when it came to the lettuce
1:03
that came into our restaurant when I was in that kitchen
1:07
because there's nothing worse than going to a restaurant,
1:10
ordering a salad, and it be limp and half brown.
1:14
Oh, no, honey, not in my house. (laughs)
1:17
So you see, when your lettuce gets like this,
1:21
you have to go in there and slice off the tip
1:27
and that opens those veins back up
1:30
so they can drink and get nice
1:35
and, you know, crisp again.
1:38
So I wanted to share that with you.
1:40
And this one is not as bad,
1:42
but Theresa prepped this.
1:45
She washed it and all of that, but she left that trimming
1:50
so I could show y'all how to care for your lettuce.
1:54
But I soaked every piece of lettuce
1:56
that came into our restaurant
1:58
in a big old tub of ice water
2:03
and it would get so nice and crisp.
2:05
So that's the way I like my salads.
2:08
All right, I'm cooking, this is a chicken Caesar wrap.
2:12
So I am cooking my chicken in the air fryer
2:17
and I'm keeping an eye on that.
2:19
(lettuce crunching) And
2:23
you kind of just do this the easy way.
2:28
You'll want to help your children,
2:30
you know, there with any knife cutting.
2:33
But I'm just going to coarsely cut this.
2:39
- [Theresa] You know, nowadays, Paula,
2:40
you can buy the Romaine already-
2:42
- [Paula] Oh gosh, I have-
2:43
- [Theresa] Chopped and sliced and washed.
2:45
- I have done it. It's terribly expensive.
2:48
- But I have done that before, Theresa,
2:50
when I was in a kind of a rush, a tight.
2:55
So we've got our lettuce
2:59
and I'm gonna sprinkle this
3:01
with some grated Parmesan cheese.
3:05
You can put however much you want
3:08
and we're gonna toss that around.
3:10
If I was putting this in their lunchbox, y'all,
3:13
I would use this to put the dressing in.
3:16
And when they got to school
3:19
and got ready to eat their lunch,
3:23
they would just pour this
3:31
And that way their sandwich doesn't get soggy.
3:36
So it will really be eaten
3:38
like a fresh chicken Caesar wrap.
3:42
So speaking of chicken, I'm gonna go over here
3:44
and check my chicken,
3:48
see what they're doing over here.
4:06
I think they appear to be ready,
4:18
and I'll know more when I cut into 'em,
4:20
but aren't those pretty?
4:28
beautiful, Look at that beautiful, beautiful chicken.
4:37
So now I'm going to cube this.
4:41
So when my child or my grandchild,
4:44
whoever's gonna be eating this sandwich,
4:51
won't have to do any work.
4:52
All they'll have to do is
4:54
open their dressing, pour it on,
4:57
and eat their sandwich.
5:03
Now that's one full breast.
5:06
I'm gonna put a little bit more Parmesan cheese.
5:12
Excuse me, I forgot to cut the air fryer off.
5:18
I'm telling you, I don't know
5:19
what I would do without my air fryer, y'all.
5:23
I don't know what I would do.
5:25
All right, so to make this a little bit healthier,
5:28
I feel like I'm making it a little bit healthier,
5:31
is I'm going to use a spinach wrap.
5:41
Uh-oh, about to lose a piece of chicken.
5:45
All right, so you can put this together real easy.
5:57
I think since I'm not packing this
6:02
for a lunchbox, (dressing sloshing)
6:05
I'm gonna go ahead and dress this
6:08
because I think somebody here in this kitchen will eat it.
6:16
- [Theresa] I was hoping there would be four of them.
6:19
- Well, gimme a chance, honey.
6:24
One down, three to go. How about that?
6:28
It can't get any easier than that.
6:31
Throw that chicken in your air fryer,
6:36
chop you a little lettuce, little Parmesan cheese, please,
6:43
little Caesar dressing.
6:47
- [Theresa] I'll give you a little plate to line 'em all up.
6:48
- [Paula] Okay, I'm rolling this one a little different,
6:53
but that's all right.
6:55
- [Theresa] That looks like it's gonna hold together.
6:57
- Yes. Two down, two to go.
7:03
Aunt Peggy's still with us, isn't she?
7:07
She's waiting on her wrap. (laughs)
7:11
Guess what? It's time to eat, y'all.
7:14
You know now, I'm not much for store-bought dressings,
7:19
y'all, I'll be very, very honest,
7:22
but this is a great, quick way
7:28
to make a Caesar salad.
7:30
Like I said, not normally do I use stuff like that,
7:33
but I actually tasted it
7:37
and it's really pretty good.
7:42
But if your child doesn't like Caesar dressing,
7:47
you can put mayonnaise, honey mustard,
7:49
whatever it is you think they'll eat.
7:54
And hopefully you'll have a home run. (claps)
