Just Chicken

We like to buy chicken when we can get it on sale, cook it up, chop it up and keep it in the freezer in 2 cup or 2 breast amounts. Then, whatever I'm making that includes chicken, I don't have to worry about cooking the chicken first or pulling out the canned stuff. Works great in casseroles, soups, tacos, etc.... We also like to do this with hamburger in the one pound amounts in Ziploc Freezer bags. Anyway, I usually end up putting 3-4 chicken breasts in a lid covered pan and slaving over the stove or constantly checking it or setting the timer to remind me I have chicken cooking on the stove. Then I have to start it all again to finish cooking the rest of the chicken that I have. This is a slow cooker recipe - put the chicken in, cook for 3-4 hours on high and then turn it off. Cut up the chicken and all done. My husband did this for me on a day that I had to work, but at least it "tastes like chicken."

Recipe:

6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp chicken bouillon
Salt and pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 cup water

Layer chicken breasts in slow-cooker, sprinkling bouillon, salt, pepper, and paprika over each layer. Pour water around edges. Cover and cook on high 3-4 hours or low 6-7 hours. Remove chicken. Allow to cool 10 minutes. Slice chicken into 1/2-inch slices.

Ready to cook.

Done.

Then, do whatever you want with the chicken. Put it in some gravy and serve over rice for dinner, package it up for the freezer like I do, put it in your favorite recipe....whatever. Easy!
