We shared our second Great Tastes of Manitoba show of season 35 “Manitoba Chicken Takes You to Mexico” on Saturday, November 23 at 6:30 p.m. on CTV Winnipeg.
Gina Sunderland, Food & Consumer Relations Specialist RD, and host Dez Daniels whipped-up two of our favorite Mexican-inspired Manitoba Chicken recipes—Chicken Street Tacos and classic Chicken Enchiladas. These flavourful dishes are easy to prepare, making it a breeze for home cooks to create healthy, delicious meals right in their own kitchens. Plus, check out just how simple it is to make our mouthwatering Ancho Roast Chicken! All three recipes are family-friendly, and perfect for getting everyone involved in the kitchen.
This season, we’re continuing the tradition of highlighting Manitoba farms by introducing you to some of the dedicated families who help bring our recipes to life. On this episode, you’ll meet Jeremy and Cheryl Froese, broiler farmers from southern Manitoba, along with Dr. Lorne Cruise, a Manitoba Poultry Veterinarian. They shared insights into the importance of providing top-quality care for chickens.
With so many labels on food packaging, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But when you see the “Raised by a Canadian Farmer” logo, it means your chicken was raised by a family like Jeremy and Cheryl’s. Farming in southeastern Manitoba with their four kids, the Froese family follows strict national food safety and animal care protocols that are science-based. They carefully monitor their flock’s well-being with the help of a veterinarian and the farming operation is all regulated by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, ensuring the food is safe. Jeremy and Cheryl take pride in their work and are passionate about passing these values on to their kids, all while sharing safe, high-quality food with their family and community.
