Sunday — Roast Chicken Dinner

Roast both chickens at the beginning of the week.

Serve:

• Chicken thighs

• Potatoes

• Carrots

• Gravy

This becomes your main Sunday dinner while setting up the rest of the week’s meals.

​

After Dinner Prep

Once dinner is over, pull the remaining meat and organize it into containers for the week ahead. Pulling the chicken apart is easy once the chicken has cooled, you don't need to use a knife!

Set aside:

• Monday — drumsticks & tenders

• Tuesday — taco meat

• Wednesday — chicken salad

• Thursday — soup bones & wings

​

A little preparation on Sunday makes weeknight dinners much easier.

​

Monday — Sheet Pan Chicken Night

Use:

• Drumsticks

• Tenders

Roast alongside:

• Potatoes

• Onions

• Peppers

Serve with dipping sauces for an easy meal that still feels fun and intentional.

​

Tuesday — Chicken Tacos

Use:

• Breasts from chicken #1

Stretch the meal with:

• Beans

• Peppers

• Onions

This is a great example of using chicken as flavor and protein within the meal instead of the entire focus.

​

Wednesday — Chicken Salad Night

Use:

• Breasts from chicken #2

Serve as:

• Sandwiches

• Wraps

• Salad bowls

​

Tip:

Start your broth tonight using the carcass and wings. Add carrots, celery, onions and any herbs you desire. Simmer on the stove for 3 hours.

​

Thursday — Homemade Chicken Soup

Use the homemade broth from your chicken bones and wings.

Add:

• Vegetables

• Noodles or rice

This is where the value of using the whole bird really shines — turning what might otherwise be discarded into another nourishing meal.

​

Friday — Chicken & Biscuit Bake

Use leftover soup as the base.

Add:

• Cooked rice

• Frozen vegetables

Top with:

• Drop biscuits

Bake until golden and bubbly for an easy Friday comfort meal.
