ShopRite in NJ had Coleman Organic Whole chicken on sale, got a 4.75 lb chicken for $10.71. I made chicken noodle soup, chicken pot pie and chicken salad with the remainder. 3 Meals from one chicken! Love it!

These are great ideas. I will try them this week because I am cleaning out my freezer and using up to restock .
I actually found 3 whole chickens buried at the bottom. So can’t wait. I will probably freeze the chicken taco in a bag as well and cook in one of my Pyrex dishes. Thanks so much for sharing!

I’ve started freezing the filling, such as this one, in a quart bag to save space, then I thaw and dump into a pyrex for reheating. It’s a space-saver and money saver since you’re using less aluminum trays. This is a great recipe, thanks for sharing!

Recently learned that Tyson pumps up it’s chickens with horrible stuff — that’s why they are stringier and spongier than “real” chicken. It might cost a little more, but no Tyson coupons for me!

[...] And, because I totally need more excuses to use my slow cooker I bring you multitasking with a slow cooker and a chicken (and a stockpot and some herbs, but you get the drift) from Five Dollar Dinners. [...]

Thanks so much. I always wanted to know the proper way of making stock and skimming the fat. Great mexican recipe as well. Know my family will love!

You do not add any liquid to the chicken taco bake except the small amount of juice in the tomatoes?

Don’t forget to do step 2! The first time my hubby and I tried to roast a whole chicken we forgot to take out the bag of stuff. We didn’t discover it until we started pulling the meat off the chicken. Yuck!
