Cheap and EASY meal idea for one person

<p>Here is an easy way to cook up a bunch of chicken breasts, then you can freeze them. I buy the boneless, skinless ones in large packages when they are on sale. The results of this recipe are super moist (dryness can be a problem with chicken), and great for making some kind of wrap, sandwich, chicken tacos with black beans, chicken salad, etc. later.</p>

<ul>
<li>Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove (make sure it has a lid that fits the pot). It needs enough water to cover the chicken completely when it is in it, I use a pretty big pot.</li>
<li>Put the chicken in the water and leave it for 1 minute.</li>
<li>Take the chicken out and put it on a plate until the water is boiling again.</li>
<li>Put the chicken back in the water, put the top on, and turn off the burner.</li>
<li>Let it sit for one hour.</li>
<li>Get it out of the water and into a freezer baggie. I usually cut into one just to make sure it is cooked, and leave it in a little longer if it isn’t.</li>
<li>You can now refrigerate or freeze them until you need them (freeze in the quantity you usually need, eg one or two breasts for 1 person). rry to squish all the air out of the freezer bag before you close it. I always label the bags in the freezer with what it is and when I froze it so I can take out the oldest stuff first if there is more than one bag.</li>
</ul>

<p>I first read this recipe in the “Global Gourmet” cookbook for a whole chicken, but found it is much easier with boneless, skinless breasts.</p>
