One chicken 10 meals


I was at a conference recently where I was listening to a speaker who was trying to convince us that one chicken could turn produce 10 meals.  As she said this there was a low murmur from all the moms with children and husbands who could not believe this was true.  This speaker was a true professional so despite my first reaction, I opened my ears and tried to understand.  After the conference was over I went home and googled to see if any other people out there had this same opinion, guess what, they did!

So now I am on a mission to make this true in my home.  I figure 10 meals is 2 dinners for our family of 4 and 2 leftover lunches for whomever liked the meal the best.  This has to be such a budget booster, which is the real reason why I am interested.  I always like spending less on food and more on important stuff like clothes and shoes ;-)  Of course there are other reasons to do this, reduce waste, increase sustainability, and reduce cruelty to animals are a few.  

Another reason I am trying this myself is, even though I googled those folks who said it could be done. They did it with recipes I am not sure my family would eat.  So it is my challenge to make this a kid friendly chicken experiment.  So wish me luck and check back soon!
