How much food should I buy?!


Question: I am making shish kabobs with my middle school kids for cooking class.

I have to buy chicken, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes for about 35 student, but I don't know how much to buy of each.

How many pounds of chicken should I buy? What about the other items? Any ideas?

Also, does anyone know a great seasoning or sauce for shish kabobs? =)

good day,
making chicken kebabs.
You will need about 1/4 lb of chicken per-person.
1 onion quartered will give 4 serving
same w/ bellpepper and 1 cherry tom per stick.
35 people
9 lb chicken of breast
9 onions
9 bell peppers
2 box's of cherry tomatoes

What about pick'n up 3 cans of Chuck pineapple
Use the pineapple also on kebabs
Use the juice, pepper, lemon. teriyaki and garlic.olive oil
(to taste)
Mix and pour out about a 1/2 ( to use on kebabs will grilling)
Add chicken to remaining and marinated about 1-2 hour
If you are use wooden sticks, you have got to soak in water.
(@15-20 min)(prevents burning)
remove chicken and slice breast 1/4" strips( u can slice easier if chicken breast are slightly frozen and them marinate)
Enjoy....

Plan on buying about a pound of food per person. This includes side dishes. If you are just supplying the kabobs, make 1 or 2 per person, but take into account how much other food there will be. Plan on 3 or 4 pieces of chicken per kabob (4 oz of meat), 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 pieces of onion and 2 pieces of bell pepper. I would suggest a dry rub for the kabobs. Just google a recipe.

i think 13 chickens is more than enough if u choose middle size of chicken..other items not so usre sbout it..

Hey,,, 12 lbs of boneless chicken breast should be enough and 3lbs each for the veggies,,, marinate the chicken breast overnight in italain salad dressing,,, Make a sauce with melted butter, tiger sauce and honey,,baste on at the very end
