Can I get away with freezing this?

[Mik]

@Doctor-Phibes it’s not just them that’s laughing at you. Just sayin’.

I'd worry a bit about the cream separating when it's thawed after freezing. It might not; it might end up a little more watery than is ideal.

You could make it following the recipe and freeze it and observe what happens. Or you could follow the recipe but leave out the cream, freeze it, and add the cream after you defrost it. Do the dish in two steps, IOW.

[Mik]

Yeah, I would not try to freeze that either.

[jon-nyc]

I think it would freeze ok. Give it a try.

[George K]

Yeah, I'll make a small batch - just one breast and halve it. Lunch one day and I'll freeze the other half. If it works, great; if not, no biggie.

Mrs. George enjoys lobster. Me, not so much. I don't like the texture and lack of taste.

Buy her crawfish. They're cheaper.

Just tell her they're mini-lobsters.

I really don't care what she eats. If she likes sea-insects, more power to her.

I, on the other hand, prefer my protein to be land-based and flavorful.

Don't give me that "Oh it wasn't prepared properly" bullshit. Even a good steak prepared improperly will taste at least OK.

Seafood? Nah.

OTOH, I'd come for some of this...at least the beer part.

Walked into the lab Friday and they hollered at me and told me my crawfish was in the break room. They even saved me some corn and potatoes (it was Hospital Week last week. That bunch of coonasses ate all week. Friday just happened to be a crawfish boil outside under the doc's parking area).

No beer, though.

But back to seafood... Love it. Had shrimp twice this week at home. Snapper, red bass, scallops, oysters (not raw, though), crab...It's all good.

Man, you don't know what you're missing!

Oh, Jolly, I LOVE seafood. Maybe I should have been born in Louisiana.

Politics, food, football & heat.

Not necessarily in that order...

Speaking of...I need to get my butt in the kitchen. It's red beans & rice day.

I've got to get busy. Bye, y'all...

Back to the original post.

I made it for lunch today. I only made 1 chicken breast, and I could have used a little less Slap-Ya-Mama. Also, I went a little light on the cream, should've used more.

Otherwise came out just fine, and I refrigerated the rest for tomorrow's lunch. Or, perhaps, I'll freeze it as an experiment.

[George K]

Just thinking...

A while ago, I made some really good mac and cheese.

Would that freeze?
