The best way to save time and money on groceries is to plan your meals ahead of time and then buy the ingredients at once or in bulk. The next thing you need to do is to store the other ingredients that you haven’t used yet in the fridge to preserve their freshness, but you can also do this for leftover ingredients.

How to Thaw Chicken in the Microwave:
Directions:
Remove the chicken meat from the wrapping or Ziploc bag and if it gets stuck, run the bag under cold water, and move it around a little until the meat separates. Transfer the meat to a microwave-safe dish, then place it in the microwave, and defrost your chicken.
If your microwave has a built-in defrost button, then make sure to use that because it will automatically decrease the power by 50%, and defrost your chicken without cooking it.
Remember to set the timer for defrosting depending on how much the chicken weighs, then pause every 2 minutes or so, and turn the meat around to check for progress.
As soon as you can separate the pieces, do it to thaw them out evenly, and then use your chicken to whichever recipe you want. Note: this method works well with meat without bones in it.
