Alan's Kitchen Tip:

• To prepare for lunches, divide mixture among 10 resealable plastic food bowls. Seal containers; refrigerate overnight or freeze. At lunchtime, place cover loosely over container; microwave, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
• Need cooked chicken for a recipe? You can purchase it already cubed and cooked in the freezer section of your supermarket—just thaw and use. Look for fully cooked roasted chicken strips in the meat department—just cut up and use.
• Or, purchase a boneless, skinless chicken breast and poach it. To poach a chicken breast, place 12-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast and about 1 1/2 cups water in a large skillet. Bring to boiling. Cover and cook for 12 to 14 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
