At least once per month, I boil a whole chicken. Then I pull all that wonderful meat off the bones.
I use some of it right away, and combine it with the broth from boiling the chicken, and frozen mixed vegetables and rice or soup pasta, for soup. Just be sure to chill the broth if you want to eliminate fat from the broth. Also, add a couple chicken bouillon cubes to kick up the chicken flavor.
And, as we all know, soup is very good for a cold!
Then, depending on what I am in the mood for, I use more of the cooked chicken to make a favorite meal.
I usually find that I have much more fun making those wonderful Mexican dishes, if the meat is already taken care of. Campbell's has great chicken enchilada recipes, and since I already have the chicken off the whole bird, I just mix it up and pop it into the oven. So good.
Your hungry guys will love the enchiladas, and to make it more like going out, serve a couple packages of Spanish or Mexican rice side dishes. Or add some refried beans and chips.
Enjoy! And take care of that cold!
