3 meals, one chicken

Just like everyone else we are belt tightening here in the Ozarks. Our favorite way to do that is to make 3 meals out of one whole chicken. All the recipes will be posted on this blog. Pick your favorite three and have a go!
To make these meals as fast as possible, I shop sales and keep these items in the pantry all the time. This week soup is on sale so I bought several cans, and do the same with pasta, cake mixes, etc.
I always keep these items in my pantry:
chicken broth
Soups:
cream of chicken
cream of mushroom
golden mushroom
tomato
dry soup mixes
pasta of all types
spaghetti sauce
canned veggies
frozen veggies
frozen noodles
garlic salt
Greek seasoning
onions
garlic
carrots

I love to catch stuff on sale or buy in bulk. We have a Sam's club where I get rice, soups, pasta. Stuff that will keep in bulk. You do have to comparison shop, sometimes you get the better deal buying smaller amounts(just lots of it) If we have a sale that is great with a limit on it, I have been known to buy my limit, take it to the car and then buy it again. Not exactly cheating, because I always remember something I have forgotten and get it too!
So stock your pantry and enjoy your chicken dishes!!!
