Cooking diced chicken from frozen

[foodiefil]

Does anyone do this and if so how do you do it?

19yp DSS finishes work at 9/10pm ish and we don't know if he will be eating with us or not - tonight as an example he came in with his gf (who had also not eaten) and asked for food. We didn't know they were coming and all I could offer was oven chips and chicken kiev from the freezer but they're trying to eat healthily and didn't want it. Fair enough! We need to do a shop and I asked what we could have in for occasions like this and he said chicken and veg and I was just wondering if I might be able to get a load of chicken breasts - dice them and put some seasoning on like garlic powder/paprika and freeze them then if this happens again he can take a bag out - fry it up and have with microwave rice and veg.

Does anyone do this and if so can you tell me how? Read conflicting things online.

TIA

Most supermarkets do chicken/meat you can cook from frozen. It’s probably not as good quality but it exists.

Thanks @Wilmalovescake will have a look for that

If doing yourself I would imagine it will clump together when frozen so you could try open freezing ( separate chunks on a tray) then combining in a bag once frozen. Try frying from frozen and see how it goes. Buying it possibly easier but I would do a tester on one fillet and see how it comes out

I never knew you could cook chicken from frozen

Why not just season chicken breasts whole and he can cut them up in the pan while they're cooking? I do that at home because I'm too lazy and don't like the ick factor of washing chopping boards after cutting chicken on them.
A sharp knife easily goes through a frozen chicken breast.
