Rebecca Spence of Vancouver, Washington today won the Second Annual Foster Farms Fresh Chicken Cooking Contest held at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone, in California’s Napa Valley. In the spirit of the contest’s focus on fresh, local ingredients, her Crispy Orange Chicken with Fennel, Avocado and Orange Salad featured locally grown ingredients including navel oranges, fennel, avocado and Foster Farms fresh chicken. Rebecca’s Crispy Orange Chicken with Fennel, Avocado and Orange Salad beat out nearly 2,000 recipes to win the $10,000 grand prize and a one-year supply of Foster Farms fresh chicken. Rebecca competed against five other finalists from California, Oregon and Washington.
Guests in attendance selected Jennifer Daskevich’s Chicken and Quinoa with Figs, Spinach and Mint recipe for the “People’s Choice Award” for best use of local ingredients.
