Chicken Tip

This is a two-fold tip. First you can use for cooked or raw chicken. Kitchen scissors. Scissors are such an awesome kitchen tool for things other than opening packaging. They work wonders for cutting up raw or cooked chicken and it can be easier than using a knife at times, especially depending on how much snipping you need to do.

The second tip is one I use for the following post (Chicken Biscuit Bake). I do this whenever I have a recipe that requires the chicken cooked before I put it into the dish. The tip is: microwave it. I know for some that may be kinda gross. But to me, it's so much more effort to cook it on the skillet, just to chop it up and throw it into something else that bakes additional time. Microwaving the chicken in my following recipe saves me major time and in the end tastes the same. (I think) When you have a recipe where the chicken is added to the dish already cooked, and without seasoning, I find that doing it on the stove isn't worth the time, where the microwave is a huge time saver. Then you can proceed to cut it with a knife, or with scissors. Whichever you prefer.
