Step by step, how to use up 5 lb chicken breasts!

I thought I would show you step by step what I do with a 5 lb package of boneless skinless chicken breasts! I made 3 complete meals with this 5 lbs!

1. take out a breast, clean it of excess fatty tissue if any

2. Fillet the chicken breast, so that you end up with 2 pieces of about the same thickness

3. I cut all the way through like this. I end up with a nice strip for grilling, then a thinner smaller piece for dicing.

4. I dice the smaller piece (unless I am making chicken strips, then I would cut in 1/2 and use for that!) for chicken dishes, and use the larger breast piece for grilling.

5. We prefer the McCormick Mesquite Marinade mix. I put all the breast pieces in a gallon ziploc bag. I mix my marinade and pour it over the chicken in the bag!

 

6. I lay the bag flat, get all the air out, seal up the bag well, then freeze or refrigerate until I need. Defrost 1-2 days ahead of time in the fridge.

Sorry I haven't had anything to say lately!

Well, actually our internet has been down for 6 whole days! We were pretty sad and pitiful around here without it! I took lots of pics of meals this week and I will be posting them with the corresponding recipes later this week. If you ever are looking for a good meal idea, don't hesitate to ask! I have many recipes I haven't even tried yet! We are working on new healthy or healthified recipes more and more! I am also always looking for healthy sides (besides green beans lol), so if you have any of your own, please share with me!

I should probably ad that I had gained up to 117.8, lost down to 115, only to wake up today back at 117.8! I KNOW it has a lot to do with the snacks laying around the house and office! I have one week to lose those 5 pounds that I found "lying around" lol
