Chicken for 5....days!
This Instructable includes the shopping list and recipes for one work week’s worth of meals using chicken. If you don’t want to eat chicken every day, make one day meatless and add more meat to another meal. OR, you can mix and match with some other recipes throughout the week. All of these recipes can be prepared ahead and frozen for convenience.
I have opted for functionality over fanciness, but hopefully you will find none of these dishes lack flavor! They are very versatile so feel free to adjust ingredients to make them your own, too.
*Note: These recipes were used to feed my family (my husband, toddler, and myself), so for the sake of argument I would say each meal provides enough for a family of 2 with possibly enough leftovers for lunch the next day depending on whether you go back for seconds!
The Recipes:
Chicken and Yellow Rice
Chicken Pot Pie
BBQ Chicken with Broccoli Cheddar Soup
Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
BBQ or Chicken Alfredo Pizza
Bonus= Chicken Broth
