Cooking In Bulk

[ant_8u]

I like to cook all my chicken breasts on sunday and leave them in a tub in the fridge

I do the same thing with my pasta too

The problem i have is that the chicken turns hard and dry and the pasta sticks together

The chicken breasts are frozen - guess that could be a slight problem

What else am i doing wrong?
How do you cook these properly?

Bro the only way to reheat pasta and make it taste somewhat like fresh it boiling water and pouring it on top of the cooked pasta. You dont have to let it sit, just kinda rinse it, then it is all good. As far as the chicken goes have you tried nuking it with some water in a covered container?

my chicken is dry but i drink water & metamucil with it when i eat it and it helps a lot...

After you cook the chicken make sure you let it cool down on the counter and dont put it straight into the fridge while its still hot. Let it cool slowly and put it in the fridge once it gets to room temp.

I used to work at the restuarant the the chef taught me that and it seems to help keep it fresh longer.

Agreed .. keep it covered in a zip lock bag or tupperware ...

Pasta make every 3 days... strain and put in a tupperware container add new water to it and refrigerate... then take out a serving of pasta drain serving of excess water and nuke with sauce ... delish ...!!!!

good luck
