With school starting and a generally busy schedule, I’m putting homemade convenience foods in my freezer every chance I get. The latest recipe started with a 10 lb bag of boneless skinless chicken breasts from Costco. I poured a bottle of chipolte lime marinade I snagged for $.50 right into the bag. And refririgerated for a couple of days until I had more time.
Then I placed them on a broiler pan and broiled on high for 5-7 minutes on each side.
Set them on a plate to cool while I cooked the rest. And then sliced them really thin. I had in my mind restaurant style grilled chicken strips as I sliced.
Then I weighed the strips into 4 oz serving sizes and packaged them in snack size bags for the freezer. Now all I have to do is microwave the frozen strips for 90 seconds and add them to a tossed salad or a pita for instant lunch. It’s low-fat, high protein, and sooo tasty!!
Do you have a favorite chicken marinade recipe to share that I can try next time? I’m out of $.50 bottles of marinade 🙂 .
