Soup Bowl

Each guest fills their bowl 3/4 full of vegetables, fruit and meat of choice. Ladle hot soup base over top, sprinkle with cheese and enjoy with a breadstick.

Rice Bowl

Remove chicken, drain marinade and discard, grill chicken over hot coals or under the broiler unit of oven until meat is no longer pink.

Cut cooked chicken into strips. Place on buffet table. Place reserved fresh marinade in serving bowl as a sauce on buffet table. Cook rice according to package directions. Place on buffet table.
