What to do with a split chicken breast.

Washington grown split chicken breast is .88 a pound this week.  

Binkess, skinless, chicken breast was 4.00 a pound last week and I have seen it for as much as 8.00 a pound,  

To get the most out of a split breast.

• Cit the rib portion off the breast,  you don’t have to be perfect.  Just run a sharp knife along the bone,  be careful to hold the chicken far away from the knife.  Use short, calculated strokes.   Slow.   
• Place the rib portion on a container or gallon zip lock. 
• Put the single breast in quart bag.  We use dollar store bags for this,  you aren’t going to use them again. Then, place the quart bags in a gallon bag.   Label with date and freeze. 

1. Before bed, place the rib portions on a slow cooker and cover with water up to an inch from the top.   Add some vegetable scraps and herbs.  
2. Turn the cooker  on low and go to bed. 
3. In the morning, drain the pot into a pan.  
4. Refrigerate stock .  When cold you can remove the fat from the top.  Portion control and freeze.  
5. Pick the bones for chicken pieces, bag and freeze. 
6. Toss the bones. 

Chicken pieces can become soup, enchaladas, chicken pot pie or taco meat.
