Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Cutting chicken breasts into strips is much easier, Grandma explained, when they are slightly frozen. She placed them on a plate or baking sheet and froze them for 30 minutes. When the meat was firm, it was easier for her to slice, and the slices were neater.
