My mother has a membership to a store called Restaurant Depot which is very similar to GFS but is for business owners. We were able to get a great price on chicken, $1.25 a pound, when we bought a whole case. So, I got forty pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast but realized when I got home that I had no plan for all of this chicken. So, here are the quick and easy marinades I made all from things I already had in my pantry. After all, I had already bought forty pounds of chicken, I really did not want to spend money on anything else extra.
Here are the ways I prepared my chicken. All of these recipes are for 2 chicken breasts. After combining all ingredients in a freezer bag I put them in the freezer. It's great to know that I have a lot of different meals in the freezer that were easy to make and will be easy to cook. Any of these recipes can be put in the crock pot for 4 hours on high, baked at 350 degrees for an hour, or grilled. I love cooking but I don't always have the time or energy to come up with something different.
Italian Chicken:
Syrup/Soy Chicken:
BBQ Chicken #1: Tip: Freezing chicken in the BBQ sauce will help it to absorb more of the sauce's flavor, instead of simply adding it to chicken before cooking.

Italian Chicken:
- McCormick Italian Seasonings
- Oil
- Salt & Pepper
Syrup/Soy Chicken:
- 1/4c Soy Sauce
- 1/4c Pancake Syrup (the recipe called for maple syrup but I only had pancake syrup, but the chicken tasted amazing)
- Salt & Pepper

- 1/2 bottle of Lawry's Szechuan
BBQ Chicken #2:
- 1/2 bottle of Bull's Eye Hickory Smoked
I also left some of the breasts plain and froze them that way, partially because I was so tired of processing chicken, but also so that I could make other recipes later with them if I wanted to. Now when my husband comes home we will not have to worry about preparing food, we can just enjoy one another's company.
Think I will try the soy sauce and syrup one. It sounds good!
