Easy Make Ahead Chicken

Dear Reader-

As I mentioned yesterday, I have been using Freezer Cooking to help me keep us on track for our Year 2 Change Challenge.

One of the super easy recipes I use as a base for many other recipes (although it is plenty good on its own… just sayin’).

First you need about 2.5 lbs chicken breast tenderloins… Breasts would be okay too, just not as good.

Cut them up into bite size pieces.

Next I take a good non-stick skillet and begin heating it to a medium heat and toss the chicken right in… that’s right, no oil.

Season a little lighter than you normally would (Salt, pepper or season salt) because your broth will add salt and flavor in the next step.

Now take 1/4 cup of chicken broth…

As the chicken begins to get a little dry, pour it over the chicken to cover the pieces.

Add another 1/4 cup if necessary to keep chicken moist while it finishes cooking

Measure out portions… Usually makes enough chicken for 2 casseroles or 8 individual (4 oz) portions.

We use it as a short cut for our Chicken Asparagus Bake and to shave time off of this super yummy Italian Chicken Bake.

Miss Add also LOVES this plain as an alternative to chicken nuggets.
