One Chicken, Lots of Meals.
If it's only one or two of you for dinner, buying a whole chicken is usually a bad idea. But since I've found a Sun Marin Farms through Cookbook my only option is to buy whole chickens. Thankfully, they're very petite but what I've started doing to get more out of each chicken is this: The day I buy the chicken, I use the chicken breast for one meal and I freeze the rest of the chicken for a later date. Tonight, for example, I'm using the rest of the chicken to make broth. We'll have soup and salad for dinner tonight. Then, I'll shred the meat and use it to make little puff pastry tarts, turnovers, or byrek for tomorrow's dinner.
Here's some recipes:
1. Roasted Chicken
Roasted Chicken Breast with Cauliflower, Fennel & Green Beans
Cilantro, Garlic & Lemon Chicken

2. Chicken Salad
