| I have been notorious to stew a whole hen or cook a huge roast for two people, then package and freeze in meal size portions.
I find that a cup plastic freezer container holds enough meat and broth for one meal, for two.
But I find I am in a rut of making the same things over and over with them.
My chicken ends up mostly creamed chicken over biscuits, or homemade noodles and chicken. I would like suggestions for what you would make out of it.

| - I usually use left over roast on buns with BBQ sauce, shred it and make a homade BBQ sauce and bake until thick and serve on buns. -I also use it in homeade spaghetti sauce it is a nice treat. -Can be used in chili or stew too. -Chicken can be frozen and taken out to make chicken salad sandwiches. -I make chicken soup with small dumplings, they freeze great. -You can mix lots of sauteed veggies (broccoli, spinach, red and green peppers, onion, carrots, celery) all chopped differently and mixed with the chicken from the freezer and salsa, then mix with fussuli pasta and top with parmesean cheese, it is great hot or cold the next day. -I also freeze some with gravy for open faced chicken sadwiches -make chicken divan with 1 tin cream soup, 1/2 tin mayonaise, 1/2 tin milk, 1 cup cheddar cheese, top with bread crumbs and dot with butter. Either freeze and bake later for cook and freeze. Serve it on rice or pasta. -use either for chicken of beef pot pies, homeade or pre-made shells. |

| Chicken ceasar pita wraps ========================= -cubed or shredded or strips of cooked chicken -a head of romaine lettuce, washed dried and torn -creamy ceaser dressing (I mince a clove of garlic and add it to mayo and parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper, a little salt, and add a small squeeze of lemon juice) -cooked drained and crumbled bacon or bacon bits (I use the bacon bits - lazy lazy lazy LOL) -peeled and sliced sweet onions -chopped tomatoes -greek style pita bread (not as chewy, no pocket) Defrost the chicken and heat on a grill pan or in a saute pan. Heat a skillet until hot with a spray of butter flavour cooking spray. Heat the pitas briefly on each side to warm. Okay to toast them a little, but don't burn them! Mix the lettuce, dressing, tomatoes, onions, bacon bits, and chicken in a bowl until all is well distributed. Make it a bit saucy, it is better that way. Place along the middle of a pita and roll up in waxed paper. Peel the paper down as you eat! The chicken and pita are warm, the salad is cold, and it is oh so good!
