I visited Q13 FOX News this morning, where they helped spread the word about Jamie Oliver’s Search for a Food Tube Star competition! I talked a bit about why I am SO EXCITED to be in the finals, then Bill Wixey and I made the recipe in my video submission! It was super fun, as always. I hope you liked it!
Here is my video entry for Jamie Oliver’s “Search for a Food Tube Star” contest.

This is one of my favorites! It's a huge hit with my family too. Don't skip the miso sauce - I know it's weird but it's really delicious!

Ingredients
- Chicken thigh or breast, cut into 2-inch cubes
- Teriyaki sauce, enough to cover the chicken in a plastic bag (make sure it has no MSG or artificial colors or flavors!)
For the dressing
- 1 T red miso paste
- 1 T water
- 1/2 t soy sauce
- 1 t lemon juice
For the salted cucumbers
- 1 english cucumber
- 1 t salt
- Bibb lettuce
- Cooked brown rice (optional)
- Carrot shavings (you can use a potato peeler), for color and garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in a plastic bag with the teriyaki sauce for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Mix the dressing ingredients until the miso is dissolved.
- Make a campfire, and roast the chicken either on a stick, or in a grilling basket.
- While the chicken is roasting, slice the cucumbers thin using a mandolin (this could be done ahead of time as well.) Sprinkle the salt on the cucumbers, and toss to distribute evenly. Let the cucumbers sit for a half hour. Squeeze the water out of the cucumbers.
- To assemble, place some rice and a few pieces of chicken in your bibb lettuce, top with some crunchy cucumber, carrot shavings, and a drizzle of the miso sauce. Yummy!
