Yesterday the shredded chicken finished up in the freeze dryer. Start to finish, it took 44 hours, 48 minutes. I’m still working on clearing out some freezer space. I took out four packages of chicken breasts and defrosted those. Each package had two huge breasts, four were boneless, skinless and two had bones and skin. I put them all in the pressure cooker with onions, celery and carrots; cooked them, shredded them after they cooled.
I strained the broth and canned it. The 8 chicken breasts filled three half gallon jars. The broth filled three quarts and one pint. Not bad and it left me with a bit more space in the freezer.
As soon as the freeze dryer defrosted, I put in three trays of onions and one tray of mushrooms. Not even sure what goes in next but I’ll come up with something.
What are your thoughts?
