How Do I Batch Cook Perfect Baked Chicken Breasts?

You can double this recipe to prepare enough chicken to keep your freezer stocked, if you want. I find that 10 lbs can easily get me through 5 to 7 meals depending on how many I'm cooking for. You'll need two sheet trays to double it and to rotate the pans between racks for even cooking. Or just do as I prefer and bake them in two batches. You'll still be done in under an hour.

How Do I Prep Batch cooked Chicken for the Freezer?

Be sure to completely cool the chicken before prepping it for freezing. Then place the chicken in zip-top freezer bags. You can freeze chicken breasts whole, in slices, in chunks or cubes and in shreds. I recommend measuring out the amount you would typically use for one recipe into individual freezer bags. Then you need only to thaw what you will be using, immediately. Clearly label and date each bag, so you can rotate your freezer stock, efficiently. Cooked chicken, sealed properly in bags with as much air removed as possible, will keep up to 6 months in the freezer.

Can I Batch Cook Chicken in the Slow Cooker?

Chicken Breast Slow Cooker Recipes are as easy, delicious, juicy and tender as those cooked in your oven. Chicken cooked in this way is easy to batch cook for the freezer. The boneless skinless chicken breasts require more time to cook, when using the slow cooker, so you will not have to watch over them as closely to achieve perfection. Cook them on the low setting for around two hours or they reach an internal temperature of 160°. Get the full instructions, here .

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°.
Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2″ thickness. Extra large pieces can be sliced horizontally to make two portions of 1/2″ thickness.
Place the chicken pieces in a single layer on rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
Season both sides of each piece with all-purpose seasoning.
Bake at 400° for about 15-20 minutes. A thermometer inserted into the center of the thickest portion should read 160°.
Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and allow to rest on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes. They will continue to cook on the sheet until the USDA recommended safe eating temp of 165° is reached. This also helps to keep the chicken juicy and tender.
Serve with your favorite sides or cool completely and store for use in future dishes.
