    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 easy :)

    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.

    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!

    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 time
