| I'm not sure what I was thinking but Sunday at Whole Foods I bought 3 - 1.95 pound packs of chicken breasts, a 1.5 pound pack of ground chicken breast, and two 1.35 one packs of ground turkey breast. I have no idea what to do with it now. Any ideas? I think tonight I'll use two pounds of the ground to make tacos. Any ideas for the rest? |

| How many people are you feeding that you need two pounds of meat for tacos?? |

You can make chicken cutlets or parm out of the breasts. Or you can put them in your slow cooker and make pulled chicken. Google for a recipe. Obviously you could freeze some of it. Or cook all of it and freeze what you don't eat.
Ground chicken I usually make meatballs out of. And ground turkey I usually use for meatloaf. |

Why does it matter to you? She can always freeze the extras for another meal. 2lbs doesn't always go very far. Once you cook it up it shrinks. |

Fortunately, there's tons of stuff you can do with chicken.
With the turkey - I'd do turkey salsa meatloaf with quinoa. With the chicken breasts - I'd do balsamic chicken, BBQ chicken, chicken/mushroom and rice, or pulled chicken. Or, I'd make spring rolls. Rice as a side. I've honestly never bought or used ground chicken. You could probably use that for tacos or meatballs. |

Because we are trying to figure out how many meals to turn the rest into. |

This is one of my favorite chicken recipes. I always make extra mustard sauce and add a little bit more vinegar to it. It's pretty easy and really yummy UO.
