26. Chicken is so easy to prepare
Fri Jun 14, 2013, 03:05 PM
Jun 2013

Our favorite is just de-boned chicken breasts ( I de-bone them), sauteed in olive oil..sprinkled with a dab of Salad Supreme.. I always cook a bunch since I then make the world's best chicken salad with the left overs.. I can get 12 meals (easy) out of a package of bone in chicken breasts..
The packages I buy here have 8 or 9 large breasts per package

I save the bones & make chicken & homemade dumplings
We each (2 of us) have a chicken breast on rice on day one
I diagonally slice a cold chicken breast apiece for chef salad the next day
I make chicken salad from 2 breasts (makes quite a bit when I add the celery & onion)
I get about 6 sandwiches & 2 tomatoes stuffed with the chicken salad

The soup is usually shared with my friend since I cannot make a small pot of soup..

One large package of chicken breasts , some carrots some onions & celery.. a few eggs & some flour for the dumplings & you have MANY nutritious meals... all for a lot less than a few orders of fast food chicken-anything..
