Cool Summer Chicken

Summer time makes for grilling time! Grilling is an easy way to cook a meal and there is little cleaning up involved, making it perfect for those hot and humid evenings. One of the best aspects about grilling is that the grilling surface of most grills is rather large. This means you can fill up your grill, cook one time, and have food for a few days. It doesn’t get better than that in the summer!

One of my favorite ways to save on food, cooking time, and energy is to grill up lots of chicken at one time. Once the chicken has been grilled, let it cool to room temperature. Now, you have meat that is ready to be packaged for ready to eat meals. You can package chicken as is, shred it, or chunk it. Place your chicken in a zip style freezer bag and replace in the freezer. Voila! You have lots of chicken for quick and easy summer meals! This also works well with beef and pork. For those of you who like OAMC, you can designate one day to grilling day and have meat for months! Now that’s COOL!

A little tip about meat: Meat shreds best when it is at room temperature. If you decide to freeze your grilled chicken in whole pieces, make certain that you bring it to room temperature before shredding for the next meal.

Buono Appetito!
