Not sure if anyone posted this yet or not. I just cook up a whole bunch of chicken all on one day:
CROCKPOT (makes delish shredded chicken) I dump a whole package of boneless skinless frozen chicken breasts in the crockpot with just a little bit of taco seasoning and 1 cup of water or broth. 4 hours on HIGH or 8 hours on LOW. Then I divide it up into about 3 cup portions and freeze it or use it during the week. I use it for tacos, enchiladas, BBQ chicken or even chicken salad sandwiches.
SKILLET (get out your biggest skillet and plan on cooking in about 3 batches) I get a big package of non-frozen boneless skinless chicken breasts and cut them up and cook in batches in a skillet with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Again I divide it up into 3 cup portions. I use that for stirfry, casseroles, chicken on salad.
Basically, I cook the chicken with minimal seasonings, then add additional flavors when I use it for a meal. Also, I will do both then same day since the crockpot is so easy0 -

My son, who has never met a vegetable he truly liked, likes this:
1 package of butter beans, picked through
2-32 oz. boxes organic vegetable broth
1 small turkey ham, cut into bite sized cubes
3-4 cloves chopped garlic
1 small purple onion quartered
3 stalks of celery, chopped small*
3 carrots, peeled and chopped small*
Throw it all in a crock pot--cook on high for one hour, then reduce to low for 6-8 hours. Add salt and pepper to taste when beans are tender, and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes.
*I chop small because he'll eat the veggies if they don't really stick out.
Ladle into bowls and serve with some homemade cornbread.0 -

You can even just throw in frozen chicken breasts, and cover them with water. Put in a couple garlic cloves and spices and then when you get home you have chicken ready to be shredded for chicken tacos or burritos/enchiladas. What kid doesn't like those!0

I know people put frozen chicken in a crockpot but if you ever research the proper way to thaw out chicken and cook it, it is not recommended...but then again, neither is most of the ways a lot of people actually thaw it out.
I cook frozen chicken all the time0 -
