- In this video I show you how to stretch a roasted chicken out to make 3 or more meals. You can get at least 3 dinners from one whole roast chicken. This means that for 3 days you can eat well from one single chicken and minimal work. That's three days of food on a very tight budget!

This video brought back memories of my twins when they were babies and we didn’t have a lot of money. I used to do this, and get several meals out of one chicken, as well as a weeks worth of baby food for them. Chicken soup, pot pie, fried chicken cutlets, the night of roasting was a dinner of wings, legs, & thighs, chicken salad. I’d make a weeks worth of dinners and a lunch or two plus their baby food for the cost of one chicken, some veggies and sides.
You are amazing!! Good work!
Ben breathing in the background was DARLING. ❤😊

So true about making the most of using the carcass for bone broth/soup! Nothing wrong with throwing it in a ziplock/freezer and handling it when you're in the mood.
Yesss!
Add 1/2 cup vinegar to the broth, you won't taste it when it's finished but it will help leach calcium from the bones.
Totally forgot to mention the vinegar!!! I always add apple cider vinegar!
This is like a thanksgiving dupe dinner! 🎉I absolutely LOVE this❤ I will definitely do this for a supper for my family. They’re gonna love it! I may add a green bean casserole because it just adds that thanksgiving vibe 😄
I've started making mirepoix ahead of time. Its carrot, celery, and onion mixture. This way I can cut down on how long it takes me to cook up a chicken soup recipe. I bought the three ingredients and then just spent a little time cutting them all up, give them a quick blanche, and equally distribute into ziploc bags. This also helps cut down on waste.
Wow~ I have to think those who can get a Costco rotisserie for under $5 are really going to benefit from this video in both cost and time.
True!
Three adults here. A roasted chicken always gives me 3 meals. LOVE IT! Endless opportunities. Can't wait to try the Avocado Chicken Verde Casserole. Yummy! Thank you.
Perfect!! Enjoy!
TH-cam served up this video and I just subscribed! My sister is a soup hater, in fact, she's a certified picky eater, but the first time I made chicken soup using homemade chicken bone stock she was over the moon. Canned soups are so heavily processed and use low-quality ingredients that they just taste pretty bad. One huge trick is to buy a rotisserie or roasted whole chicken and use the bones to make stock -- just as yummy with less work. You also use just about any leftover veggies or even frozen. Soup is also a great meal prep!
Yay!!! I’m so glad you are here!!! Homemade soup is soooo under rated!!!
This video made me so hungry for roast chicken! I used to do exactly as you did and make the first meal as chicken dinner, take the rest of the chicken off for other meals and then make bone broth. How delicious. Good on you for teaching people to stretch their food dollars.😊
i LOVE rollover dinners! i have a plethora of uses for different leftovers to change their profiles so we aren't eating the same stuff over and over & boy is that a game changer!
I love the teen roll over dinners! How have I not heard that before?!
@@MealsWithMaria thats just what Ive always called them, noone really likes the term "left overs" because it sounds unappetizing, so I use "rollover" because I use the remains of one meal to "roll over" into a new dinner
That is a great term. I've always heard it called "rubber chicken", because you make one chicken stretch for many meals.
@@kj7653 😂😂that's cute!
Now this is PROPER budget meal planning!
This is a lady after my own heart who knows how to make meals count,and it's frankly a skill only true poverty can teach you.
Back when I was growing up money was scarce and meat considered a bit of a luxury. Sunday roast was traditional fair enough,but the rest of the week you consumed leftovers as best you could,bulked up with rice,grains,pulses etc.
I really love the asian and mexican dishes because after a roast you can make something really inreresting out of what's left.
And too right,that carcase gets boiled up for soup or broth at the end of it!
Gotta use every bit!!
I have to admit, I put this video on while I was super tired. The music is so calming that it put me to sleep! I did go back and watch it LOL! "Do whatever you remember to do", new Maria quote! Great video!
🤣🤣 quintessential mom life quote!!
Perfect timing for me to see this video. I have two whole chickens in my freezer and this gave me some guy great ideas. Thanks
Roasted chicken is delicious & versatile! They're quite pricey where we live, but nothing's wasted. You offer useful ideas!
We used some of the leftovers to make alfredo, chicken, parmesan cheese pasta. It was a hit!
All sounds delicious! I’m sorry they are so pricy
Great video! I'm currently making bone broth in my instant pot for my doggos. They love it and I feel good about feeding it to them! I also add vinegar to any bone broth.
I forgot to mention the vinegar 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Why a vinegar?
@@valentinaminauro352 Adding vinegar to the mix helps draw minerals out of the bones. Add a generous splash of apple cider vinegar to help with the process. You can also use organic red wine vinegar in beef or lamb bone broths that give it a great flavour.
In our house we often use rice dishes in burrito shells to extend out our meals or our leftovers.
Love it!
Hello:
Just came across your cooking vlog. Helps me to up here in Canada, we here also have Dollar Stores.
Now to my point.
I am an 80 year old fart on a Pension, no other income. So I need to make you type of suggested tasty Meals.
If you manage to somehow inclued Seniours In your weekly Menues would be helpfull.
One more notice.
Some of our spent Seniours fail to have good eyesight --- go figure.
But you are on the right Track.
I thank you, and keep on feeding you growing family.
You make sense 4 Seniours!

I'm so impressed. I did the same 2 weeks weeks ago. I love to make chicken salad, baked rotisserie chicken, bone broth and bbq chicken sandwiches out of one chicken. I swap it up each time, but you're right, it's such a good deal. We love it! Thanks for sharing. You always encourage me with your knowledge and how well you feed your family. Willette from Alabama.❤️
Thank you Willette! Great work with your chicken too!
Thank you for the recipe for the roasted chicken I can’t wait to make it!!!! I can only eat chicken and I need all the ideas I can get…
😀 enjoy!
Maria, ALL of these meals looked DE-LI-CIOUS😋 using that chicken!🍗 Thank you for some useful tips and ideas!❤️ Your chicken DID look PERFECT!!
Thank you!!!
I love Ina's Roast Chicken recipe, too! Her turkey recipe is good, too. Looking forward to trying that casserole.
Enjoy that casserole!!! The chicken is a winner!
OMG Maria I loved this video. Not only the recipes but your commentary. Had me laughing and bringing me back to the years when I had 6 little ones. You made my day thank you
Aw I’m so glad!!
I love that you show the realities of cooking, like the charred carrots…
WOW great job! Wonderful suggestions
So glad you like the ideas!
My sister serves cranberry sauce with any chicken or turkey recipes. Thank you for sharing.
Totally agree with you about soups. Yum. Good for the soul. I do a whatever soup. Have a container in my freezer that I put the little leftovers that no one eats for supper (spoonfuls of veg, meat, gravy, noodles, rice, etc). When the container is full, I thaw it and make it. It's never the same twice. Add water or broth or whatever needed to finish it off. No waste and a very easy meal. Love your commentary during the video along with all the ideas. Thank you
I love love love the whatever soup idea!!! That is so cool!
I saved up a container in the freezer for broth then make it in a slow cooker the day before garbage day. I've used this chicken multiple meals. After dinner #1 I debone the chicken and freeze to use later.
This is a great technique! I do this too!!
The day before garbage day is a great idea, makes so much sense.
Chicken is gorgeous!
Wonderful, just wonderful ❤️❤️❤️🥰
❤️
We don't like avocado, so I looked up an alternative and several sites suggested edamame. I LOVE that idea! I'm also thinking, I'd relpace the chicken soup for some cheese because of the salt. I suppose that just changes it to a whole new dish heh. We used to have a store with a little deli and made "verde" chicken or pork burritos ALL the time. Very popular. Sometimes we'd make chicken enchilada for customers to take home and bake themselves. I miss my little deli.
Edamame sounds like a great alternative and your store sounds awesome!
@@MealsWithMaria Best breakfast burritos on the Oregon Coast.. Makes me sad every time I drive by. Tho my partner makes awesome food so I guess I at least get to taste the past.
Awesome recipes, thanks for sharing 👍❤️❤️
You’re welcome
Try hamburger cabbage and potato casserole. I chop the 1/2 head of cabbage then chop potatoes into small bit sized pieces then make white sauce and add 1 cup shredded cheddar or any cheese you like and pour over cabbage and potatoes and browned hamburger And sprinkle more cheese over the top bake at 425 oven for 45 -60 minutes til golden brown on top and cabbage and potatoes are done.
Sounds delicious!!
Adding bouillon to stuffing water elevates it as does sautéing some onions and celery in butter and adding to stuffing if you have it.
Great ideas Maria, thank you for sharing!
You’re welcome!
Looks delish maria,gd job👍
Thank you!
Really enjoyed the video! I did not know about the vinegar when making bone broth. Casserole looked yummy! -Thanks
So glad 🥰
I'm not big on vinegar, so I use whatever citrus I have on hand. In a pinch once, I used rice vinegar. Personally, I'd go without lacking any other alternative. Acid adds sparkle but is nowhere as essential as salt.
Interesting to see the price changes. I thought I was the only one adding chicken bouillon to the potatoes.
I batch cook potatoes for the freezer and I add instant potato flakes to the regular mashed potatoes before making the patties, sometimes the plain instant potatoes sometimes the flavored instant potatoes, as I don't use butter or milk.
Could you do a new video with a whole chicken. With different recipes. Maybe another budget video. I’m truthfully struggling with meals. And I buy whole chickens a lot. Thanks. As always thanks for the content
I have another one here because I also have so many chickens in the freezer! I will probably make another one in the future too Leftover Chicken Ideas | How to Stretch a Whole Chicken

One of my favorite inexpensive and easy soup recipes similar to your chicken noodle soup at the end of your video, it is made with a mirepoix and egg noodles... Mom's potato soup recipe: Cube 3-4 potatoes. Dice your mirepoix: 1 carrot, 1-2 stalks of celery. 1 diced onion and, if desired (optional) sauté directly in your soup pot in butter or oil for a few minutes prior to adding the potatoes. Otherwise, just add all vegetables and fill pot with water (leaving room for milk and noodles later) and add salt. Bring to boil. When potatoes are almost done, add egg noodles until tender. Add 1 can of evaporated milk, dry parley for color, a little butter. Thicken the soup with a hand full of instant potato flakes. Add additional salt to taste if necessary.
I imagine this can be made with a vegan butter and plant-based milk to make it vegan, too.
I need to try working with evaporated milk more!
@@MealsWithMaria this comes together really fast and is so creamy and hearty with such few ingredients. If you try it I guarantee you'll love it.
I've made soups with vegan butter and thickened with potato flakes, you could also make that soup stretch farther with bullion and water because it was so fun of other ingredients. Great recipe/ idea
Hey Maria! Again enjoyed you and your video! You did remind me that I could make the same basic soup but use other leftover meat…I have carnitas that I get from Costco but can only eat so many tacos/burritos so this will be dinner tonight! Thank you as always😘😘
Great idea!!
April Holly smith is another u tuber. Her idea was to put your chix bones etc in the slow cooker with water and cook overnight. Strain in the am. Game changer for me.
Great tips! Ben is so adorable. Love Ben’s squeals and coo’s Thank you
😀
I always wanted to buy a whole chicken, I like the idea of it's versatility. Gotta try that recipe for roast chicken, it looked amazing 😋
Enjoy!
Oh my goodness, what a nice surprise to see this new video!!! Great job!!!! 👍 😊
Thank you!
I live in a beach community on the coast of Washington State. Although it has always been a rather inexpensive place to live, property value-wise, the food prices are way, way more than what you are quoting. 2022 might be more of a challenge for some of us. I appreciate your videos.
Ugh sorry to hear that! I hope that, even though it’s more expensive, my recipes still help 🤞
@@MealsWithMaria of course they do. Thank you.
If you cool it in the fridge for a couple of hours after you salt it, the skin is so crispy.
Smart!
Another great video, Maria! Roast chicken is a classic, and SOOO good!
Agree!😋🍗😋
😀
You could make chicken pot pie. I love making that with left over roasted chicken.
Absolutely!!
A favorite in our house. My son loves to experiment with quick and easy versions.
I just got a rotisserie chicken from Sam's and I'll need to make bone broth from the carcass! Never did it before!!
Looks delicious
Thank you!
$6 for a 6 lb chicken?? AND it’s a Perdue! Wow! Wish we had those kind of prices in San Diego. I haven’t seen a whole chicken for under $13 in years and it’s only been going up.
I hear it’s very expensive out there 😩
@@MealsWithMaria Oh it’s awful! Our gas is almost $6 a gallon (it was OVER $6 for quite awhile, it’s finally started dropping…very slowly) and the price of everything, especially meat, has gone up exponentially.
Put the bones in slow cooker,water& veggies.Cook 12 hours that way.
Even easier!!
oh boy, Slow cookers are absolutely the best investment you will make in your life!!
Great dishes
Reminds me when 1 roaster had to last the week.....like legit, no other meat. I don't think I ever did a roast chicken night because we wouldn't have had enough to stretch the 7 nights. I would thin slice the breasts pound them bread them and fry them and we would have chicken sandwiches. Then I would pick all the little pieces off the bone that I could get and have chicken fried rice. Of course I would make stock and we would have chicken soup. Chicken burritos or chicken quesadillas were always a hit. I would stew some of the chicken and we would have chicken and dumplings and I would also always make chicken pot pies with a can of mixed vegetables and lastly we would always have some sort of chicken casserole using a cream of something-or-other soup. I'm glad times have changed and my budget has changed but I was feeding six people for 7 days off of a large roaster so it was pretty good way to get by. I also did the same thing with a ham.
Wow what great ideas!!!
Love this! 👏🏻
Looks very good
We love cooking those chickens! I really need to try making the bone broth though.
Yes! Go for it!
Yayyyy I can hear you so good on this video!!
Oh good! I think it’s voice over vs. speaking into the camera that causes an issue
fyi. easy broth take all bones and fat skin ,onion skin, carrot peel or any veggie scraps{ I save them in the freezer} put in crock pot over nite . strain refrigerate the when cold take off fat. super easy. love your recipes.
Love it! Easy peas!
see slow cooker remarks above...totally agree they are brilliant.
I love homemade chicken noodle soup. I make it when the family is sick, but when I do, I add some fresh grated ginger (or ginger powder) and fresh grated turmeric (or turmeric powder) for their health properties. Turmeric is better absorbed with black pepper. I also add a dash of cayenne, but you don't have to. Don't go too heavy on the ginger. When I don't have fresh veggies, I use frozen mixed, which is fine. I buy my onions in bulk and prepare them before freezing. You can also freeze fresh ginger and turmeric root.
Thank you! 💜
I love Cranberry sauce
👍 work
That’s right!!!
We often pick up a roasted chicken as a last minute quick dinner. Making bone broth from the carcass definitely lowers the cost of the chicken, because it saves me from buying expensive broth. I use broth as a base in most of my meals, since we eat a lot of soups, stews, and casseroles.
Chicken looks amazing! I made one this week not that beautiful as yours , put all the bones aside, portioned all the meat for a couple of meals put it in the fridge. My sweet husband offert to clean up the kitchen afther the delicious meal ( his words)😍. Later that night (already in bed) , I said dear where did you put the chickenbones??? .... Silence..... I said as a joke, nah you didn't put it in the bin!..... Turnt out he actually did😳😕.....
Awww it happens! Still sounds like a sweet guy!
@@MealsWithMaria he most definitely is a sweet man. Still as afther 18 years😍. My comment was to supposed to laugh about it just a bit of fun. And as relativation not everything will go as planned. And than life goes on. 😉 Have a great day!
I learned to cool off my broth and refrigerate overnight so that all of the fat rises to the top. Then I remove the fat layer first the next morning before use or freezing.
Hi Maria! Question for you: what are the benefits to buying and roasting your own chicken (besides getting to choose your own seasonings) instead of getting a rotisserie chicken for $5 at Costco, if you have a membership, and not even have to cook it? I’ve gone to buy my own whole chickens so many times, and couldn’t bear to spend more than the Costco ones cost. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
I think it depends what you have access to. I usually like to buy whole chickens on sale for .99 or less a lb so I’m not sure how that works out compared to Costco, but it’s probably close. I personally don’t have a Costco near by. And I think a home roasted chicken is just more delicious. But it doesn’t really matter! Whatever works for you!
I will turn some leftover chicken meat🍗 in a white ragout ( butter, flour, bouillon) next to rice or on toast (with some baked mushrooms if you have so to stretch) with a salade, carrots, broccoli, peas or whatever
Yum! Love the idea!
You could use salt free seasoning
Put the carrot chips in towards the end if that's all you have
Yes, that is a much better idea!

Dear Maria, I left a comment on cleaning the dutch oven. The video I referred to was from Krocks in the kitchen. They boiled water and added 2 Tbs of baking soda and scraped the burnt bottom with wooden spoons. It was the only thing they could find that worked decently. I also said that I thought the burned pan was unhealthy and I should just shut up about things I don't know about. I was thinking about Teflon or something I think, sorry for the criticism. Duh!
Haha it’s ok! I do need to clean it! Thank you for the recommend!
😋 Yummy
Chicken is Perfect! Carrots not so much! LOL
Mistakes are good. That is how we learn. 😅
Question for professional chefs....do you do your burrito's with or without rice and sweetcorn?
My student diet was always with.....
I add as much yummy stuff as possible! But I’m not a professional 😀
i just saw at my walmart, the cornish hens are $6 a piece. a year ago I paid $2.50 for one
That back up music is so sexy.
And food bank help out
Ben sounds so cute. Hope I remember his name right
If you had added water to the chicken pan before cooking it might have saved the carrots.
👍👍😊❣️
🙏😀

Beautiful Girl,
You seem to always wear log-sleeved clothes while preparing your dishes !!!
I would be concerned about contaminating my food as well as staining my clothing !
You are much more creative than I …
You are a fabulous cook and I appreciate your inventive recipes !!!
Do appreciate your instructions 💖
I meant LONG-sleeved clothes 😬
Southerner here. Boxed stuffing does NOT do it for me.
😅 I get it!
Instapot bone broth
You can cook bone broth in the crockpot for 12 hours you just said it and forget it
You can also make bone broth in the instant pot

Why do your hands always seem to be halfway covered? It's a bit distracting. Curious...
Wow!!
You can buy chicken that cheaply?
Clearly there's not much care for the animal. Show some respect ffs!!
