Are you trying to save time in the kitchen? If your household is anything like mine, you’re working late and then rushing home to cook dinner, or you’re busy getting your kids to and from all their activities and play dates. You can save time in the kitchen! How? Well, you can do a few things actually. One way is to double up on recipes and freeze the extras for those particularly busy days. You can cook more chicken then you need, so the next night you’ll cut down on your cooking time. This is easily done by roasting more than one chicken at a time. Some like to double up on preparing and cooking some ingredients like meatballs, or cut up vegetables and make something just different enough with it the next day, or freeze them for another night. Another fun way to make more food is to invite a few girlfriends over and each make a double batch of a different recipe. Then not only do you get some much needed time to catch up with your friends, but you can divvy up all the goods at the end of the day! Just remember to bring along a lot of reusable containers. The next time you’re roasting a chicken for your Sunday dinner, why not roast two or three of them. It won’t take any longer and you’ll have lots of chicken left over for other meals. This recipe for Lemon Roasted Chicken is so simple and requires so little time to prepare, so making an extra chicken or two would be no hassle at all. The next night you could prepare this quick and Easy Chicken Fried Rice recipe. If your family loves pizza, like mine, and you have enough leftovers for another meal you could make this great Chicken Pesto Pizza the third night. If you get together with some of your friends for a cooking party, you’ll find lots of great recipes on our website at www.chicken.ca. Chilis, lasagne, casseroles and stews are perfect for this type of cooking. These foods usually freeze well too. Just keep in mind that anything with milk, cream, sour cream, noodles (except lasagne), will likely separate and become watery and noodles tend to get soggy. Remember making more food to freeze only takes a little bit more planning, but can make your life so much easier!
