Chicken Tonight
Because I didn’t go to Wells yesterday it meant I could go to my butcher and spend extra money on a really nice free range chicken. Taking inspiration from a book I want (but haven’t read) New English Kitchen (about how you can get loads of meals out of one thing) so actually it wasn’t that much help because I haven’t read it (my brackets are all over the place). Um…so I wanted to see how many meals I could get out of my chicken.
Yesterday I roasted the chicken and had it with cous cous and feta, olives and stuff. Then today I made chicken stock, which I am yet to see the benefits of as it took 2 hours to make 2 pints of stock. Then I decided I wanted to make a pieminster pie so I copied their Chicken of Arragon ingredients and made some filling. Then I decided not to make pie today so I froze the filling but it tastes lovely. Then I engineered a boxing day feast tonight and had cold chicken with bubble and squeak and pickled onions. Oh and I cooked my roast potatoes (this may start to get a bit graphic for vegetarians) in the chicken fat saved from yesterday and I put the chicken juices in the Chicken of Arragon pie filling.
I just browsed Delia for more leftover chicken ideas but started to feel a bit sick.
Chicken sandwiches for lunch tomorrow.

Hello Sarah I can so relate to you on this one, I had roast turkey last Sunday, which then turnt into turkey and stuffing sandwiches on Monday lunchtime, turkey curry on Monday evening (one portion of which is now in the freezer, is that safe to re-heat?), followed by turkey salad on Tuesday lunchtime. I did contemplate making stock but decided I had had my moneys worth out of the poor old bird so binned it.
