Chicken Breasts

If you were smart, you bought boneless chicken breasts on sale, used that FoodSaver to freeze individual servings and use them for quick meals. Want some ideas?

If you forget to defrost - it defrosts quickly in the microwave or in a pan on the stove. I toss it in the pan with a little water and start the process. As it cooks, I cut it into bite-sized pieces. This helps it to cook faster.

I use veggies that have water in them to help it cook and taste good. Use anything you like to make any sort of stew. Tomatoes, onions, corn, peas - whatever - experiment. Add cheese on top and it's tasty and good for you.

Make a souped up soup. Using a canned soup and a chicken breast plus a few veggies you can make all sorts of good tasting soups or stews.

Crock pots are so nice. Dump the meat, veggies and a small amout of liquid in and go about your business.

Fry, broil, bake, grill - these things can be used for one person or a whole crew.

One of my favorite quick and tasty meals includes a bed of rice or instant potatoes, a chicken breast, a veggie mix, with cheese and/or gravy on top. I call them dump meals cause you dump it all together. If you can't stand your foods touching each other, well - you won't like these.

Try making a foil meal with a layer of veggies, chicken breast and liquid wrapped in aluminum foil and tossed in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes.
