*Here is a quick hint if you cant get a rotisserie or just want to have some quick protein to add to a meal. When those big packs of chicken go on sale grab one and boil it on the stove with water and bullion cubes, seasoning and liquid smoke. Drain off the broth and save for later or put it up for use in recipes later on. Ok, so shred that chicken and spoon in a little broth. Package in freezer safe bags or containers and thaw it out when needed. Make sure you get all the air smooshed out before freezing.
*quick hint number two--- don't have time to boil that big pack of chicken? Girrrlll, you aren't alone. Here is another easy way. Dump it in a crock pot, add water and bullion or canned broth, seasoning and OOil. Let it go on low all day or at least for 6 hours. Then do just like I said above.
Ok, back on track here...I'm so A.D.D.- I swear I have the attention span of a gnat!
