I think it is fantastic on a busy schedule to be able to get home and have the meat ready for your pasta, tacos or chicken salad. Cooking a meat entree and having leftovers to make something else reduces the cooking time and is a benefit when cooking.
..
Baked chicken is one of my favorite entrees to make. Baked chicken is low maintenance because just put in the oven covered. Then a couple of hours later bam baked chicken is ready. Baked chicken with some mashed potatoes and a green vegetable makes a delicious meal for any day. Baked chicken has many different ways it can be cooked, with butter and herbs or stuffed with jalapenos to add a kick. I like to wrap my baked chicken in bacon and stuffed with jalapenos in the cavity. I hold the bacon on the chicken together with toothpicks then cover and slow cook at about 325 degrees so the chicken is tender.
..
Left over baked chicken can easily be turned into chicken tacos. Left over baked chicken can also be used to put in with pasta. With the baked chicken you have gone from an American meal on Monday to a Mexican meal on Tuesday and an Italian meal on Wednesday. What is the key to maintaining the difference? The spices are the key because you use different spices and because of the different spices you will not get tired of chicken. If you want to take your food for lunch then how about some Chicken Salad. Just add some mayonnaise, red grapes, celery and bam you are sandwich ready.
In conclusion, cooking smart is always an added benefit. A baked chicken can bring many benefits and hey if you are going to put one chicken in the oven then why not put in an extra chicken for the week. Enjoy!
