I have 6 chicken breasts that I got from my work that have tomorrow's date on them. Not gonna eat them tonight so wondering what is the best thing to do with them. What would be the best way to cook them so I could maybe use them for a couple of dinners/lunches this week and what could I make with them. Don't want them to end up dry. Or I could just freeze them raw? Any advice?

Freeze individually what your not going to immediately use.

When I have multiple Chicken Breasts, I gently poach them, let them cool, chop or shred, portion out in 1 cup size, bag and freeze.
Then I have cooked chicken ready for any future dish.
UH, and save that chicken broth, make it flavorful with aromatics.

At 6ft 4" and 115 kgs, my nephew has got a huge appetite. I just made Chicken Makhani with 3 breasts, and Chicken Chettinad with the other 3. All went into the freezer.
Yeah - curry is a good idea. Once made, it will keep for several days in the fridge and actually tastes better when left a day or so. It will also freeze well without losing flavour.
