Seared almond chicken is the perfect healthy alternative to fried chicken, crunch and all! And an added bonus is that it’s ready in fifteen minutes! Chicken breasts: easy to cook; easy to freeze.
Recently I was looking for something to cook for dinner after just getting back from vacation.
I was also getting ready to head out for a business trip, so our fridge was [basically] bare. At times like this, the freezer can be your best friend — as long as you stock it properly.
Typically there’s a good deal on a package of chicken breasts every couple of weeks, and when I see those lower prices, I buy a few packs and freeze them, two breasts to a zip-top bag.
Sometimes even the bags that come with individually vacuum-sealed chicken breasts (talk about easy freezing!) are on sale for a dollar or two off!
Buy them.
With cooking time under fifteen minutes, chicken breasts are great for a busy weeknight. And, like you, I have a lot of those.
