4 Freezer Meals with One box of Frozen Chicken Breast

I recently purchased from Safeway one 4 kg Frozen Chicken Breast halves for $20.00.  Pretty good price and I set out to see how many easy freezer meals I could make with it.

Using these staples I had on hand:

I purchased these ingredients for under $10.00:

I didn't end up using all the purchased items here, I was planning ahead to see how far the chicken would go.

In an hour I was able to assemble four freezer meals.

First, Quick & Easy Chinese Chicken, which will be thawed and baked in the oven.  Will serve with rice and broccoli.

Second, Southwestern Chicken which will be thawed and baked in the oven.  I will serve this with rice as well.

Third, Italian Slow Cooker Chicken which will be thawed and cooked in a slow cooker having only to add 2 potatoes cut into wedges during last hour of cooking.  Will serve with a salad.

Fourth,  Chicken Scampi which will be thawed and reheated, serve over fettuccini, top with fresh chopped tomatoes and will most likely have a nice green salad serve along with it.

The Chicken Scampi is the only recipe that the chicken had to be thawed and cut up.  The other recipes, I just put the chicken breast in the bag whole, still frozen.

So, I was hoping to make more than four meals and possibly could but I wasted to make sure the meals were big enough for my family of three with possible left overs.

I spent under $30.00 for four easy assembled freezer meals.  I only need a handful of things, most of which I will have on hand.  From start to finish I spent an hour in the kitchen, including minimal clean-up.

I haven't used/finished any of the meals yet but will blog the results, maybe one of them will become a family favourite.  Also, I am already planning for the next time Safeway has the chicken on extreme price/10% day sale.

That's it four freezer meals, ready for a busy day.
