Ingredients

6 or 7 *frozen* chicken breasts, skinless and boneless

Salt and pepper (I sometimes use a chicken rub)

1 or 2 ribs of celery with leaves, broken into large pieces

1/2 onion cut into chunks

Olive oil

THIS MAKES ABOUT 4 CUPS

Directions

Line a jelly roll pan with foil lengthwise, and large enough to hold the chicken breasts (You will later join the ends of the foil and fold)

Quickly rinse the frozen chicken breasts

Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper (unless using rub with salt)

Place on foil

Place onion and celery around chicken

Drizzle with olive oil

Join the ENDS of the foil, fold twice, and flatten on top of chicken

Fold in SIDES of foil now to seal the +packet+

Cook in a 350 degree oven for 55-60 minutes.

Remove from oven, chicken will continue to cook in foil

Let rest in foil for 30 minutes

Unfold foil and place chicken on plate

Make a spout at one end of the foil, and pour off the delicious broth to use later

If not using the chicken immediately, place in a tightly sealed container and refrigerate

You can pull chicken apart along grain in 1/2 inch strips OR

You can use kitchen shears to cut across grain into bite size pieces

Use in casseroles, salads or any recipe that calls for cooked chicken

Okay -- don't use free-range chicken, that was my mistake. Sorry, it sounds delish, I'll have to try it again following the recipe this time!
