🔪 Prep Tips for Batch Cooking or Using Pre-Cooked Chicken

Use rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken: Save time by using shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover baked chicken in any casserole recipe. It cuts prep time in half and blends well with creamy sauces.
Batch cook chicken in advance: Bake or boil several chicken breasts or thighs at once, shred or cube them, and store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days—or freeze for up to 3 months.
Portion for casseroles: Divide pre-cooked chicken into 3-4 cup portions—perfect for most casserole recipes—and label for easy grab-and-cook meal prep.
Keep it simple: Season lightly if you're batch cooking; salt, pepper, and garlic powder work well and stay versatile across different flavor profiles.
