I have just bought a reduced chicken................................................

[magicwashingpot]

and I want to see how may meals it will do us (Dh, ds1 3 ds2 15 mths and me). So I am thinking

1 - chicken soup- poach the chicken with other veg, use for soup - but does any one know what to add.......

chicken with flat breads and roasted veg

then after that I am stuck, didnt want to curry it though. Have treat night once a week and usually get a chicken rogan josh

I normally add some barley or broth mix (mixed lentils and pulses etc).

The third dinner could be chicken rissoles (left-over veg, some mash, chopped chicken, shaped a la fishcakes and breadcrumbs on).

Another dinner which doesn't need much chicken if you're trying to stretch it is Egg fried rice - you can add all sorts of veg and any bits of meat, a handful of frozen prawns etc.

I managed to get 3 meals out of a chicken a few weeks back, soup, chicken casserole then fried rice. Tis hard work, I think the soup was best probably. I roasted the bird, stripped off all the meat. Boiled the bones then re-stripped off the tiddly bits of meat. In the soup were veggies etc and all of those funny looking bits of chicken that aren't quite worthy of other meals!
