How does everyone prepare the chicken for recipes that call for cooked chicken chunks? I'd love to be able to make some ahead and freeze so that it's ready to go into recipes.
Boil or just grill them. I mark on the bag what "flavor" they are - for example, spicy, oriental, plain, italian ect.
And these 3fatchicks recipes are what I am going to try to do to have in freezer on hand They have more on their website.

4 Tablespoons Olive Oil

3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
1/8 Teaspoon Pepper

2/3 cup Lemon Juice
1/4 cup Cider Vinegar
1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Minced Onion
DUMP PEPPER LIME CHICKEN
1/2 Teaspoon Lime Peel
2 Cloves Minced Garlic
1/4 cup Lime Juice
1 Teaspoon Pepper
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 Teaspoon Basil
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
Creole
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1/4 cup Bell Pepper
1 Clove Minced Garlic
14 oz can Whole Tomatoes
(Chopped and undrained)
2 Teaspoons Worcestershire
2 Teaspoons Red Wine Vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon Dried Basil
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper Sauce (Optional)
For immediate cooking: Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Place all ingredients into a
large baking dish, turn chicken to coat. Bake until chicken juices run
clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30 minutes for chicken
breasts).
For freezing: Place all ingredients into a 1 Gallon freezer bag. Lay flat
in freezer.
To thaw and cook: Take the bag out of the freezer the night before, make
sure the baggie is completely closed. Place the Bag on a shelf furthest
from the freezer (It works best if the bag is laying flat, although this
may not be the best option with a side-by-side fridge/freezer). Preheat the
oven to 350 F. Empty the contents of the bag into a large baking dish and
bake until the juices run clear (45-60 minutes for chicken pieces, or 20-30
minutes for chicken breasts).

) and tonight the kids and I are getting pizza with my mom. That shouldn't be too much, but all in all, it is such a waste of money!! It'll be about $100 when all is said and done. I hate eating out anymore, and it doesn't even taste as good anymore. I used to love eating out. 
back on track tomorrow
. But we are eating dinner at home. Last night was Veggie Stew and hot rolls. Tonight was egg mcmuffins w/tomato slices for those of us who don't eat sausage and applesauce for everyone. Other meals in no particular order.
