Back on our Aldi kick lately. Not sure the exact price per pound, but a pack of three breasts was like $11, but the “family pack” of six+ breasts was $14…

I just buy the big one, trim it all on Sunday before trash pickup on Monday. If I use it over the next couple days, cool, otherwise I freeze the rest.

Will use the frozen ones for something in the crockpot or soup or something down the road.

Somewhat related… dozen eggs are $3.99 at aldi.

I bought eggs and chicken today at aldi. I wasn’t really shopping for chicken, but found two packs of chicken tenders for half price. I cooked them when I got home and shredded it. I made a delicious bowl of chicken salad for dinner tonight and will use the rest in salads or freeze for later. I froze the broth and will pull that out later for soup. A good purchase for $5.

Chicken salad is on my list of possibilities this week. Easy for lunch and a good way to use it up.

I love it. How do you make yours? When I make it at home, I do a really simple chicken, chopped egg, celery, mayo, a bit of lemon juice, s&p.

I mean, depends what we have, but ideally would be Mayo, red onion, celery, celery seed, salt, pepper. My signature is to smash the hell out of the chicken with the back of the spoon once mixed with everything.

Edit - need tomato in the house for a sandwich, otherwise it’s a wrap with Italian dressing.

Looks like Aldi is a popular choice, thanks :)

My plan is to make a chicken burrito bowl. Wrap it in some tortillas, and hope they’ll last a week.

If you’ve got a ton left, wrap them tortillas up in parching paper, freeze them, then take them out and microwave when you want.

Usually make 10-12 breakfast burritos once a month and freeze them for easy access.
