    How to Cook Bulk Chicken for the Week - Tip Tuesday

    Published: Jan 17, 2017 · Modified: Sep 26, 2019 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 5 Comments

    This might seem like a ridiculously easy recipe and concept, but this method has been life changing for me! If I bulk cook some chicken breast at the beginning of the week, I have it ready to go for any hot or cold meals I make for the rest of the week. It's such a great way to save time & make healthy meals in a jiffy!

    This method of pre-cooking chicken is really, really simple and I find it super-delicious. I bake the fresh chicken breasts in the oven with a sprinkling of poultry seasoning on top, and then I chop the breasts up into whatever sizes I need.

    I like to slice some for salads and chop some into smaller pieces for casseroles and sauces. These ready-to-go chicken pieces are great for lots of different hot and cold dishes throughout the week.

    These are also great to have on hand for kids' lunches, too! Warm them up and put them in a hot thermos, or pack them cold with cheese cubes and crackers.

      Your tips are really helpful. Somehow I always try to make it in bulk but they never end up like I want them too. I'll definitely try your way tomorrow. Thank you!!

      I also cook meat in bulk which saves me a ton of time, especially on days that I work and only have a few minutes to prepare dinner for the family.
