Yeah, so, I like to bake an entire bag of frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast all at once. Usually the day I buy the bag. Since baking it takes about an hour, I don't want to have to prep that much in advance every time I want to make a meal with chicken. I like baking it because I can do it all at once while I do something else fr that hour AND I think it turns out the juiciest! Where the problem comes in is storage. I have yet to invest, and I do mean invest- those babies aren't cheap, in GOOD storage containers for the freezer. When I use my well worn, about-to-bite-the-dust, flimsy-lidded containers I get major frost-bite on my chicken. Tuesday night was the worst I'd seen it. Down right NASTY! I actually stared at those shriveled little things for a moment and then thought, "hmm, I wonder!?!" I grabbed my handy handy Pampered Chef Micro Cooker {I seriously use for EVERYthing!} and chucked my nasty pre-seasoned, pre-cooked, frost-bit chicken into it along with about 1/4 cup water and dash of salt. After only 2 minutes in the microwave, those babies were plump again. Still slightly frozen in the middle which makes for perfectly sturdy slicing! Hope this saves your seemingly unusable chicken and provides for a tasty meal!
