I can really make bone-in split chicken breasts last a long time by making chicken soup with them!

Boil 2 split breasts in water with salt, pepper, thyme or poultry seasoning (very important) & a chopped yellow onion (celery too if you have it).

Once the meat starts falling off the bone, fish out the chicken to cool on a plate a bit before deboning it (DO NOT discard the stock!!!). De-bone it, add it back to the pot with a cheap 1 lb bag of frozen mixed veggies and a handful or so of whatever pasta or rice (I like using a wild blend, but white or brown is fine) you have on hand. And more thyme/poultry seasoning. Simmer until pasta is tender. Add salt & pepper to taste! Makes a 5-6 qt pot full of yummy soup!!! Lasts for many meals for us. I freeze whatever we don't eat within 24 hrs.
