Getting Started As always, start with a clean kitchen. Make sure you have baking dishes and freezer bags necessary to store dishes as you like. Start with the swiss steak as this has a 2 hour cooktime. Boil the 2 pounds of chicken breasts in about 4 cups of water and a large pot. Cooking time will be approximately 20 minutes. Set chicken aside to cool. Keep out 3 ½ cups of chicken broth. No need to wash pot as you will be using it again for the corn chowder. When cooled, you can cut 1 lb of chicken into cubes and shred the other. Put 1 ½ cups rice on to cook for meatball casserole. 2015-Present - Elisa Prout - All Rights Reserved 7 http://onceaweekcooking.com
