Ten things to do with chicken breast

Whole chicken is often a dollar a pound,    You can cook it on the slow cooker. ( season the skin, place it on a bed  of  roughly cut onions, and cook it in high for an hour a pound.   
By far, the fastest way to cook a chicken whole.   

Roasting chicken.  Stuff the chicken with just about anything you have hanging around the kitchen.  A onion, 🍎 apple , 🍊 orange , lemon 🍋 .    Place it on a rack in a roasting pan and oil the skin with olive oil and salt and pepper it.    Bake at 375 until it is done.   The juices will run clear and the internal temperature in the thickest  part of the thigh will be 180 degrees.    

We can get four meals from a chicken- chicken soup, a meal from the dark meat ( thighs and legs ) and 2 meals from the breast.  Three of us eat meat.   

We make chicken noodle soup, I brush hencooked dark meat pieces with BBQ sauce and warm on the oven, and we have a meal of roast chicken and a meal of a cassarole or chicken enchaladas with  the other half of the breast. 

The other alternative is to buy split chicken breasts,   The latest price imcouldmfindmthem isn2.28 a pound.   Bonkess, skinkess chicken  breast here can be as much as eight dollars a pound and you don't know where they came from.   It is easy and quick to cut the rib portion off and put in a stockpot with water and herbs to make stock.  The chicken you gleam from the bones is an added advantage to use for taco meat, pizza, or a cassarole or soup.   I bag each chicken breast and out the bags in angallon bag,   Easy to find on the freezer.   We have a side by side and I mark the baskets so things are easy to find,   Using bins from the dollar store hemisphere in the upright freezer,   


Ten ways with boneless , skinless chicken  breast.  Note, of you cook chicken breast with the skin on and then remove the skin, your chicken will be juicer.  I have been cooking the frozen breast in the pressure cooker for 8 minutes.
