One of my biggest addictions is to recycle. I buy second hand clothes, have a second hand sofa, buy my kids second hand Christmas presents and love taking the kids to the big recycling bins. I also love to recycle with food. I am obsessed with leftovers and if I can make one meal into two, or even three, then I am a very happy home cook. You are probably wondering what this has to do with frozen chicken breast in the Ninja Foodi. Well, it is a recycled sauce that I am using to cook the frozen chicken breasts in. It came from my Ninja foodi slow cooker coconut curry chicken.

Ninja Foodi Frozen Chicken Technique
As I mentioned above, I used my leftover slow cooker chicken dinner to make this chicken breast. What I have a habit of doing, is making way too much sauce when I make slow cooker meals, and then have a load leftover. What I will then do, is blend what I have left in the slow cooker. It will then get dumped in the freezer and I have a stock for future meals or I have a soup that is ready to serve the next day and just needs a quick reheat. What I did this time was pour my leftover stock over frozen solid chicken breast in the Ninja Foodi. Then I pressure cooked the frozen chicken and then once it was cooked, I could do what I liked with it.
