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. --- ## Storage & Reheating ### **Freezing Instructions** - Store in **vacuum-sealed bags** or **airtight containers**. - Keeps **several months** in the freezer. ### **Reheating Methods** - **Microwave:** 1-2 minutes until heated through. - **Air Fryer:** 5-7 minutes at 375°F (190°C) for a crispy texture. - **Stovetop:** Sauté in a pan over medium heat with a little oil. --- This is a **super simple** and **high-protein meal prep staple** that reheats beautifully and works in a variety of meals! 🚀
