Cheap chicken...

Normally I make a point to buy grass fed local meat. There are times when I bypass this rule and this week I did just that. Chicken breasts were on sale at a local store for a price that I have not seen in 5 years. I decided to make a large purchase of these in order to can them. If food prices skyrocket in the coming months or years I would rather have some meat than not be able to afford any at all. In my pressure canner I currently have 14 pounds of meat and another 14 waiting. I realize that this meat is not ideal but it will provide my family with nutrition in a pinch and will store for a long time in my pantry.
