I love it when I accomplish something that will save me money in the long run. Today I took advantage of a great sale on boneless skinless chicken breast. I had money left in the food budget, so I bought a lot!
I sliced up some chicken into nugget-size pieces and froze them.
I sliced up some chicken into strips for stir-fry and froze them.
I baked lots of chicken in chicken broth. Then I shredded some chicken for tacos, quesadillas, and fajitas. And froze all the shredded chicken.
Then I diced some cooked chicken to be sued for fettucini and whatever other recipes I find. And that's frozen too.
Yep, I'm very excited about the great deal on chicken - and about prepping the chicken into meal-size portions for the upcoming weeks ahead.
The extra time and effort it took today will definitely save me money in the future. Menu planning will be so easy.
Lots and lots of chicken
