## Instructions
### **For the Chicken**
1. Cut chicken breasts into small pieces, about **¼-½ inch thick** and no longer than a few inches.
- **Tip:** The smaller you cut them, the faster they cook, but they also dry out more easily.
2. Add the chicken to a large bowl, then mix in the **oil and seasonings** until evenly coated.
3. **Prepare a sheet pan:**
- Lightly spray **one large** or **two smaller** sheet pans with oil.
- Spread out the chicken so the pieces have space. If needed, use two pans to avoid stacking.
4. **Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 8-9 minutes.**
- Use a **meat thermometer** to ensure the chicken reaches **165°F (74°C)** without overcooking.
### **Cooling & Freezing for Meal Prep**
1. **Drain excess liquid:**
- Slightly prop up one side of the sheet pan so liquids collect on one side while the chicken cools.
2. **Flash Freeze:**
- Once cooled to room temperature, transfer the chicken to a smaller sheet pan that fits in your freezer.
- Freeze uncovered until solid—this prevents the pieces from clumping together.
3. **Storage:**
- Once frozen solid, transfer the chicken to **vacuum-sealed bags or airtight containers** for long-term storage.
