Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 4 (6 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts

Directions

  1. Remove the broiler pan from your broiler and line it with foil. Preheat the broiler on the highest setting.

  2. Spread chicken breasts on the pan in a single layer. Leave space between each chicken breast.

  3. Broil until no longer pink in the center and juices run clear when sliced, 3 to 4 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  4. Move chicken to a plate and cover with foil. Let rest for 5 minutes.

  5. Cut the chicken as desired. Divide into single servings and add to freezer bags. Spread bags in the freezer in a single layer. Cover with ice packs to speed up freezing.

  6. Remove ice packs when chicken is frozen and store in the freezer as desired.

Cook's Note:

If you are starting this recipe with individually frozen raw chicken breasts, thaw them before broiling. To thaw quickly, fill a large pot with hot water and soak the frozen chicken for about 30 minutes.
