Cooking Preparation Tip - chicken

Okay, I cannot believe I'm back all ready. Tonight for dinner, we had a chicken enchilada casserole. The recipe can be found at www.7daymenuplanner.com week of 7/19/09. (Aside: I love this site, though I get the menu in the Sunday AJC - but just in case I miss a week...)

Anyway, the recipe calls for cut up chicken. I don't know about you, but I'm not fond of this chore. I had microwaved (please don't hate me for microwaving, just don't microwave if you don't want to) the chicken breasts then cut the chicken with my kitchen scissors in the bowl without even touching it. (Actually it only calls for cooked chicken and I assumed it was to be cut up - go figure.)

I hope this little tip makes sense.

P.S. My children also liked the Chinese chicken burgers (we used turkey) without the hoisin sauce from the 7/19/09 menu.
