Cooking is the Greatest!

While we do care about our health, my husband and I are big meat eaters. In fact, I think if dinner didn’t’ include meat of some sort we wouldn’t know what to do! That being said, we have learned that chicken is definitely one of the best for us, and one of the easiest, most versatile options.

I must admit though that I am a “chicken snob.” I haven’t ever been trained in using all of the chicken parts, so I find myself stocking up on boneless, skinless chicken breast when it is on sale and freezing it. If you are braver than I, feel free to use any chicken parts! I have of late purchased prepared rotisserie chickens from my grocery and pulled the meat off for various recipes.A few of my favorites for chicken include: chicken fingers, chicken parmesan, BBQ chicken pizza, buffalo chicken pizza, chicken quesadillas, chicken fajitas, chicken salad, and many more.I would recommend a very simple method for cooking chicken for any recipe that requires a pre-cooked chicken: poaching. That is simply placing chicken in a pot or skillet and filling with water or broth about halfway up the chicken. Simply boil the water to cook the chicken until it is finished (reaching 160 internal temperature). Voila! There you have it. Ready to pull/chunk/shred chicken!
