Gilcrest 3-Meal Chicken

Gilcrest 3-Meal Chicken

Plan A:

1.       Roasted Chicken – Roast the chicken at 325 for 20 minutes/lb, stuffed with herbs such as rosemary and bay leaf. After you consume maybe half the chicken, debone the remaining chicken and boil the carcass at a gentle simmer for fabulous broth.

2.       Chicken with tomatoes—slice the remaining breast meat and gently warm in a frying pan containing a little chicken broth, garlic, basil, and tomatoes. A little white wine wouldn’t hurt.

3.       Soup time – reheat the broth, add vegetables, a little salt and pepper, and your favorite herbs. Chop the chicken and add it at the end. Bake/pick up some crusty bread and enjoy.

Plan B:

1.       Roasted Chicken – Roast chicken at 3425 for 20 minutes/lb. stuffed with fruits such as muscadine grapes, lemon or lime, or apples. Debone the remaining chicken and boil the carcass at a gentle simmer for broth.
