Mommy will often bake chicken in the oven with no seasonings. When it has cooled, we cube it by cutting it up with the meat scissors and then store it in the freeze to use later for chicken pot pie, chicken fried rice, or soups.
If baking a whole chicken, once you cut off the meat to use for other meals, don't throw the bones away. Use it to make chicken stock to put in the freezer for chicken pot pie and soups. You can do the same thing with a turkey.
Once again, anything you can do to streamline dinner prep will make your life easier at the end of the day when everyone is tired. It will also cut down on the "we don't have anything to eat so let's go out to eat" phenomenon.
Love Always,
Mommy
