Extra-Large Economy Size!

The Mr. purchased 3+ lbs of skinless, boneless chicken thighs last night. "Because the price was really good!" (Well, he's right - it was, and there weren't any smaller packages.)

There are only three of us.

We're gonna be eating leftover chicken for a while ... I'm just grilling/baking it all, because that's easiest.

I've done that before on purpose. I've split packages up, in meal sized portions, and frozen it--that works really well. Cooking it up works too. Cooking it and freezing it works, and then you're not eating chicken fourteen days in a row.

Our favorite thing to do with boneless chicken thighs is taco noodles.

We don't put it in the oven, we just mix it all together and eat it. And we leave out the mushrooms. But it's quick and easy and a little boneless chicken thigh goes a longish way.

Trouble is, that uses canned/preprocessed ingredients that we mostly avoid. I guess I could figure out what's usually in taco mix and use frozen corn, which I do usually have, instead of canned. I'll have to sound the customers rest of the family out on that idea.

Frozen corn would work excellently. Taco seasoning--yeah, I'm not sure what's in it, but it shouldn't be too hard to reproduce.

Looks easily customizable, if there's anything there you want to avoid.
