Most people I know get grossed out when I mention this, but one way I saved a bunch of time re: all the chicken I had to eat for my bulking diet was to just buy canned chicken breast in bulk [0].

It's not nearly as gross as you think, and it saves so much time!

What is so hard about throwing 10 chicken breasts into the oven one night a week?

There's a lot of prep/clean-up I just don't want to deal with. I've tried this method before, and it just didn't work out.

All the washing of things you have to use in intermediate steps really adds up. And unless you eat chicken breast for every non-breakfast meal, 10 cooked chicken breasts will get gross in the fridge pretty quickly, so you'll probably want to do something like 3 breasts at a time if you're only eating one meal with chicken breasts per day. This means doing meal prep twice in the week, as opposed to once. If you don't refrigerate them, then you have to wait for the breasts to thaw, which is time I don't want to spend every day, multiple times a day potentially.

I have a busy schedule, and every hour counts some weeks, so the time saved after buying canned chicken breast really adds up.

If you don't want to cook in bulk, a pressure cooker is very easy as well. It takes about 15-20 minutes to build the pressure and cook the chicken, but my own time investment is somewhere around 30-45 seconds.

The chicken does come out moist and tastes awesome, but that goes for the outside as well which I don't mind that much, but you can also toss it on the grill for like 20-30s a side after it's done if you want nice grill marks and a little crispier outside.

Is there a specific recipe you have in mind? (honest question, I'd love to throw 10 chicken breasts into the oven one night a week)
