Freezer Cooking Weekend

I have been cooking up a storm, and I think I'm just about done now. Here are the meals or parts of meals that I have prepared for February.

Pinto beans (cooked last week)
Shredded chicken
Chicken strips
Rice
Scalloped potatoes with ham
Ham and lima bean casserole (something new, not sure if the kids will eat this)
Whole-wheat waffles
Bran muffins

The shredded chicken was really easy. I just filled my crockpot with chicken broth and a package of taco seasoning (both of these almost free after coupons) and then cooked the chicken in that mixture for 6-8 hours. It smelled amazing while it was cooking! If you don't have enough chicken broth, I think half water would be okay. After cooking the chicken, I just shredded it with two forks. I think this chicken will be great in some soft tacos.

Now, the chicken strips really turned out well. I cut them in half through the middle to make thin cutlets. I salted and peppered both sides of the chicken. Then I sprayed my pan with olive oil spray and waited til it had reached a good med-high heat. I let the chicken cook for 3-5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of the cutlet. As they were cooking, I squeezed some lemon juice onto them. Then I just let them rest on a plat for about 5-10 minutes, and cut them into strips for salads, wraps, pasta dishes, pizza, etc.
