Well chicken of course!! LOL. I am gearing up for a OAMC project with a couple of my friends(more on that later) so I had to kick my own plans in gear for the month. I had 3 whole chickens that I wanted to get cooked and prepared for use through the month. So last night I placed 3 whole chicken in the crock pot with 1/2 cup of water and let them cook on low until I got home this afternoon. If you have never done this give it a try. It is the most moist chicken I have ever had. I took about 5 minutes to clean the chicken, put them in the crock pot, and salt and pepper them to taste. That was all it took. When I got home this afternoon I took them out and let them cool for about 15 minutes. Then it took all of 10 minutes to de-bone all 3 chickens.....now don't go throwing out the "bones & muck" just yet. Place the "bones & muck" you normally throw away back in the crock pots. Put in just enough water to cover the "bones & muck" and place the cooker back on low over night. This will give you your homemade chicken stock that you normally pay for. Just drain the liquid & toss the "bones & muck". This freezes well when placed flat in the freezer. So what did 20 minutes of my time get me.....
2 bags of 8 cups of de-boned, cooked chicken to freeze- (2 meals worth for us if we want left overs for lunches)
6 cups of cooked chicken to use tonight for chicken Quesadillas (sp??)
8-10 cups of chicken stock to freezer
I think that was worth 15 minutes of my time and $12 dollars of my money!! What do you think?
