Juicy, cooked chicken is the start to so many favorite meals, from cold chicken salad to warming bowls of chicken noodle soup. That’s why we adore this recipe. Its seasoning is neutral enough to go with most any dish and, parceled out in bags in the freezer, it’s a dinnertime game changer. With two easy methods, it’s easy to make this recipe just about any time. Start it while you’re prepping dinner on a Tuesday night, and it’ll be done cooking and cool enough to put away by the time dinner’s over. Or, go the slow-cooker method, and you can run out the door to do errands, pick up kids or dare we say it—just relax—while your chicken is cooking away! With bags of already cooked chicken parceled out in your fridge, there’s no cold that can’t be soothed or sandwich that can’t be filled.

Succulent shredded beef is like money in the bank when it comes to dinner. It means you can go from a burrito to pasta to sandwiches in the blink of an eye. Here’s how we use this recipe to its full potential: Pick up the boneless beef chuck roast when it’s on sale or when there’s a busy week ahead. It’s a versatile meal starter and can save money that might otherwise be spent on emergency pizza delivery or unsatisfying drive-through meals. When you’ve got a few extra minutes to spend in the kitchen, sear the beef and toss it in the slow cooker. Once the meat is done, it’s simple enough to shred it and parcel it up into packages that are the right size for all kinds of family meals.
