People are always asking me how I have the time to prep everything in advance to get meals on the table. The answer is and always will be, to keep it simple. Simple is easy, convenient, and tasty.

Easy Prep
The boys love chicken breast meat. I usually buy chicken breasts, bone in and skin on. The way I’ve chosen to prepare my simply seasoned chicken is by using the skin as a cap to keep the chicken breasts moist. A little seasoning and oil, and you have a very tasty chicken ready to go.

Saving Time
I will prepare a large tray of chicken and use it throughout the week for meals. I will take it off the bone for stews, soups, chicken salad, and stir fry.

Simple yet Tasty
Using a seasoned salt or even just salt and pepper, makes for a deliciously moist chicken that can be prepared in no time.
