I have bought too much chicken but don't just want to stick them raw into the freezer but I also don't want to have to do any more cooking this weekend.

Hopeful bump.

Do you mean you want things to add to the dump bag and then freeze?

Or do you mean things you can add a frozen breast to later?

The first one, chicken breast, sweetcorn, stockcube, garlic, risotto rice. I guess you could add the correct amount of water to the bag as well, so you can just dump the bag and go.

Chicken breast, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, spinach block.

Slice them really thinly in single portion amounts so they can be chucked into a hot pan and cooked through quickly in e.g. a stir-fry, risotto etc.

I split them into family portions raw then add marinades and freeze. Take them out the night before you want to eat them so they can defrost in the fridge and then cook.

I do:
Lime and coriander
BBQ sauce
Olive oil, sundried tomato and basil
Honey and mustard
Ginger, lime and soy sauce

When it comes to cooking I just pour it into a baking tray and bake for 30 mins. Serve with roasted broccoli and green beans cooked in the oven at the same time with a bit of garlic and olive oil or microwave rice or corn on the cob that's been wrapped in foil with some butter and seasoning and cooked at the same time as the chicken, or stir fry with noodles and sugar snap peas.
