Chicken Week

Adding protein to your regular diet can be challenging. It can be time consuming to cook, and if you're only cooking for one, it may seem a little pointless.  It would be far easier to just throw that pizza from last weekend in the microwave. But instead of doing that, why don't you try chicken.

This week, I will be showing you a couple different meals you could make using chicken. The awesome thing about it is I cooked 4 frozen chicken breasts up this morning, and I am going to use those throughout the week to add some lean, tasty protein to my meals.  Chicken Nutritional Info

How to cook frozen chicken breasts:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Layout frozen chicken on baking sheet (no need to defrost).

I put a little olive oil on the chicken, as well as some salt and pepper. Feel free to add whatever seasonings you like (garlic salt is one of my favorites, a dash of lemon juice also gives the chicken a refreshing kick)

Cook the chicken for about 25-30 min. Cook time will depend on the thickness of the breasts, so check every once in a while.

After the chicken is done I just cut it up, and put it in a tupperware.  That way, it is ready to use for any meal that week.
