Chicken Breasts & Thighs — Preparation

Turn a grocery-store sale into several future meals.

What if you could buy chicken on sale today and have it prepared, portioned, and waiting in your freezer whenever you're ready to cook?

In this On-Demand Cooking Class, Chef Carlo shows you how he turns a purchase of chicken breasts and thighs into the starting point for several different meals.

But this isn't a traditional recipe class.

Instead of beginning with a list of meals he plans to make, Carlo looks at each piece of chicken and makes decisions as he works. He considers how much he normally eats, what he might want to cook later, and how to prepare each portion.

You'll Learn

• Trim and prepare untrimmed chicken breasts.
• Cut whole breasts into thinner fillets.
• Prepare smaller chicken pieces for pasta, nuggets, or other meals.
• Portion chicken thighs for future cooking.
• Create simple homemade marinades without added salt.
• Save usable trimmings rather than automatically throwing them away.
• Package, label, and freeze chicken for future meals.

The Most Important Lesson

You don't have to know exactly what you're going to cook before you start preparing your ingredients.

The portions and quantities shown are Carlo's choices. You can follow them or make your own decisions based on your household, your appetite, and the meals you enjoy.
