What to do with too many chicken breasts

I wouldn't chop it up but would freeze it in 2s. I prefer using thighs but I use breasts in a couple of recipes. The best one is to fry the breaststroke to colour and seal them. Put in an oven proof dish, cover with a tomato and basil sauce, top the breast with sliced mozzarella and a sprinkle of parmesan, drizzle some oil over and bake.

If you freeze the breasts whole you have the option to chop them up if you want to when they are thawed.

Freeze them.

I also would freeze them in two’s. BBQ them with a nice marinade over them air fry them or cook in oven in a sauce. I do put them in slow cooker as well. Lots of lovely meals there for you both

Why does my auto correct think chicken breasts do the breast stroke?

I'd either freeze them in twos or make a mammoth chicken curry and then freeze it in portions.

I would freeze them in twos, half uncooked. The cooked lot I would also freeze but you could have eg chicken salad and the chicken only has to be defrosted. A quick and easy meal if you do not feel like cooking.

Freezing them in twos is what I would do. You then have the option, one you’ve thawed what you need, to either cook them whole and follow a recipe of choice, or dice them and cook them to various recipes calling for diced chicken, eg, pie, kebabs, stir fry, etc.

We did this once. Bought a huge pack in Waitrose which was reduced and I put them in twos in the freezer. Worked well and they were a bargain.

That made me laugh, kitty.

There’s loads you can do with a pack of chicken breasts. I would also freeze them in twos.

Send them my way I’m feeding a lot of mouths this weekend!

Thanks folks. They are huge so I will freeze 3 of them.in ones. Might cut them up a bit first so they thaw more quickly.

I would put them on a tray and freeze them individually, bag them once frozen and then you can take out one/two etc as and when you want some. I use chicken breasts for wraps/curry/stir fry/hunters chicken/coronation chicken.

I aften buy large amounts of Chicken breasts from Costco I just pop them into two and freeze.

Had these this week, bashed them thin with a rolling pin fairly gently. Seasoned with paprika herbs salt and pepper. I covered with panko breadcrumbs (beaten egg to stick) and fried.
Very tasty.

Freeze them. I bought a kilo of boned thighs this week. Took out two for lunch and froze the rest.

I find a chicken breast usually does two of us. I freeze in twos. Once defrosted I use one for a stir fry or curry and next day use the other cut in two and wrapped in bacon.

When we are getting ready for a road trip or camping trip, I usually precook my meat, mostly chicken breast but also ground beef and pulled pork and then freeze the cooked meat in what would be a single meal portion for hubby and me. I might have 4-5 different baggies of the stuff. I usually just do salt and pepper and maybe onions and garlic lightly I can add whatever I want to make whatever once we are away from home. As in gravy for over toast or tatos or noodles or with some kind of sauce for tacos or sandwiches or in a casserole or something. I do this also when I know life is going to get crazy.

I alway freeze them singly as we find a whole breast each is usually too much. If it’s a bit small for two I just add a few
mushrooms to top.
But, I love the tip of freezing them individually on a baking tray - saves me a lot of time as I wrap each in cling film! So thank you for that!

Make soup and freeze it.

well, like you my view is that one chicken breast is one too many, dray and flavourless. However, help is at hand - here is a wonderful Jewish wedding dish from Central Asia which I make often. It include chicken balls (no jokes pls). Put chicken breasts in blender with 50% weight almonds and one egg (you will prob need to do this twice at least). Blend and roll into balls which you can freeze separately in batches. This recipe places these on a bed of aubergine puree mixed with a béchamel made with oil and chicken stock, not butter and milk. You don't have to do that bit but could serve on a tomato sauce or a yogurt/mint one.best of luck.

I wrap each one in clingfilm and put in a large freezer bag. Thaw and use as required.

make into schnitzels. You can dip them in the egg and breadcrumbs etc and freeze in twos which once defrosted gives you a very easy dinner.
