We’re helping you solve that age-old question… what’s for dinner? It’s the most pressing headline come 5 o’clock. We’ve all been there—you look in the fridge, the pantry, but still feel stumped on what to make. All week, the Studio 5 team has been putting high tech to the test, calling on artificial intelligence to plan dinner for us. Producer Amy Iverson is the latest guinea pig.
Chef Chat GPT offered up a recipe, and Amy tried it out!
Amy found she didn’t like the first recommendation that AI rolled out for her. She says it was too simple, and had to ask AI to give her something more complicated. The result: Stuffed Pomegranate Chicken Breasts with Quinoa and Pear Risotto, and Banana Clementine Chutney.
A Costco shortcut: use microwavable quinoa! Amy finds hers in little packs at Costco. Throw them in the microwave for 90 seconds, and you save yourself a good chunk of time.
