I like to have this meal prep cooked chicken on hand for meals though out the week. I use it every day for lunch and sometimes for dinners too. Usually I’ll try to make enough to last for 2 weeks at a time. For only $2 per pound this is a great base for cheap lunches!

I use this chicken as a base in these recipes! Buffalo Chicken Stuffers, Jalapeño Popper Chicken Dip, Cheesy Chicken Quesadillas.
