Full Time RV Cooking–One Chicken–Three Meals–Plus Chicken Stock

Now that’s what I call a deal. . .

 

I bought one of those rotisserie chickens for dinner. . .it was a delicious meal, but there was a lot left over. . .so, I took the rest off the bone. . .saved the bones and skin in the freezer for making stock later. . .

 

then using Iron Chef Michael Symon’s recipe for pizza dough

3/4 cup AP flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp yeast

1/4 cup water – maybe a little more

Olive Oil for pan

Proof the yeast in the water. . .I add a smidge of sugar to help the process

Add wet ingredients to dry – mix until incorporated – knead for a few minutes – then allow to rise – shape dough and add toppings – cook in 425* preheated oven about 20 minutes or so. . .

(I decreased measurements to make one crust)

To the top of this dough I added bechamel sauce (cream sauce or alfredo sauce will be fine). . .

did I mention I made the bechamel sauce using bacon fat?   Yum!. . .

Shredded Chicken

a sprinkle of dried thyme or whatever seasonings you might like

parmesan cheese

mozzarella cheese

whatever sliced veggies you like or have available. . .this is tomatoes, bell pepper, green onion, and red pepper flakes.

 

Another delicious meal. . .but I still had quite a bit of chicken left. . .so I shredded it and made Chicken Salad for lunch tomorrow. . .

 

How cool is that. . .

 

How many ways can you use one $6 chicken?  Please share. . .

I have been working on all our favorite recipes,

and whittling them down to only

feed the two of us, with NO leftovers. . .

with every intention of being sure

they get used. . .and then before I know it. . .

thus my quest. . .

NO LEFTOVERS

Here’s a successful adaption. . .

homemade biscuits from an episode of the

Martha Stewart show. . .

her recipe made about two dozen. . .

This adaption makes four

1 cup self rising flour
1 teeny pinch baking SODA
1/2 stick unsalted butter cut into pieces

pulse this dry mix in the food processor until crumbly or do the same with a fork

mix in enough buttermilk to form a ball. . .

cut and bake in a greased baking dish

at 400* for about 15 - 20 min
