Healthy Dinner Recipes using Chicken Breasts

We are huge purveyors of chicken breasts in our house. They are the main protein we eat, mostly because chicken breasts are healthy, easy to cook, and you can prepare them so many different ways.

Buying & Storing Chicken Breasts

• I buy most of my chicken breasts at Costco.
  • I think the quality, price point, and freshness is great. I will also occasionally purchase chicken breasts at Sprouts or my local grocery store (Ralphs) but I prefer Costco over them all. 
• If I buy chicken breasts at Costco, I usually keep 1-3 packages in my refrigerator for use in the next week or so, but if I know I won’t use them, I’ll freeze them.
  • The best part about freezing chicken? Chicken breasts that have been frozen keep for up to 9 months in the freezer!
  • The best way to thaw them is to place them in the refrigerator about a day before needing to cook them. I like to place them on a papertowel on top of a plate (the paper towel helps absorb any liquid).
