Chicken Can Be Made Ahead Of Time
An easy way to be prepared for any recipe that calls for cooked chicken is to cook it ahead of time.
Spend a couple of hours one day just cooking your chicken.
(tip: using your Instant Pot to cook a lot of chicken saves time)
After it’s been cooked and cooled, simply cut your chicken into bite size pieces or shred it, depending on recipes you’re using it in.
Measure one or two cups of cooked chicken and place in freezer bags.
Date them and set in your freezer until ready to use!
If you are short on time and need convenience, buying a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store is always a good option!
