Can I freeze cooked chicken???

Do you mean a chicken pie with mash on top (like a cottage pie)? If so, then yes, I'd freeze it. I cook and freeze cottage pies, mash potato, chicken pastry pies, chicken curry - pretty much everything actually:)

Yes I call it fowl pie! Thank you very much. I will pop it in the freezer once it has cooled down. x

As long as it's thoroughly defrosted/reheated it's fine.

I cooked a chicken (previously frozen) a few days ago. I have been eating it every night since but as there is only me there is still plenty left. I am now fed up with chicken! Can I freeze it?

I know you can freeze cooked chicken in a sauce etc, but this is just plain. Can I cut the remainder up in chucks to freeze then use them in curries etc.

Thanks

yes. My rule of thumb is foods can be frozen once raw and also frozen once cooked. eg if you had meat in the freezer, took it out and cooked it, it can be frozen again (I usually divide it into portions)

Yes you can freeze cooked chicken. I am on my own too and prefer to slice it up and freeze when cold. You say yours has been in the fridge for a few days.how many days? I would only keep 3 or possibly 4 days
at the most.

if it's been kept int he fridge it's fine. If it smells bad, it isn't fine.

if you would happily eat it today - its fine to freeze!

Thanks I have frozen it. There was enough left for two more meals/curries
