Pretty much everyone who eats meat eats chicken tenders. Instead of a second meat, you might consider a second elegant veggie, such as ratatouille, eggplant Parmesan, or scalloped tomatoes or summer squash, that non-meat eaters can also use as an entree serving. In any case, with one meat, you would want 2 pounds raw boneless, skinless chicken per 5 people. If it is one of 2, you would want 2 pounds of meat A per 6 people PLUS 1 pound of meat B per 4 people (and beef is always meat A if it is served); people eat more meat, and often some of both, when 2 meats are served. If you are planning a potato bar, you will need at least 3 separate complete double sided potato bars to serve everyone in a timely fashion. |
