Saving Chicken Breast Bones For Soup

When I fix chicken breasts and I do fix them often, I cut the meat off to use in boneless recipes. I leave a small amount of meat on the bones and freeze 6 or so of the boned out breasts in a freezer bag. When I get ready to make chicken and dumplings, or soup, I use the bones with the meat on them and cook them for this meal.

I always find that I have left enough meat on the bones for a good meal. If I really have extra breasts I occasionally freeze one unboned half breast with the others for extra meat.

Be sure to tell your family what this is, my husband fixed me a lovely meal of chicken bones, roasted, not knowing what they had been saved for. We had a great laugh and a very skimpy meal!

I do this too, but I use them for soup stock or gravy. Sometimes I just save them and make a gravy from them as my kids (not baby goats) love gravy on mashed potatoes.
