Soliciting recipes. And puns.

[neadods]

I've decided to try to do that one-day cooking thing. With chicken. I've tentatively dubbed it Pollopalooza, but if anybody's got a better pun, let me know.

The general gist is this - take a day and two chickens and end up with a bunch of meals. I've already got recipes for the chicken mushroom frittata and the chicken cassarole. I need recipes for turning two skeletons, two sets of innards, and four wings into broth and then turning said broth into garlic lemon chicken noodle soup. And a chicken risotto recipe wouldn't go amiss either.

Any suggestions?


(Other future plans, for anyone interested, include having signed up for party planning and event planning classes in March and being about to sign up to learn how to knit fingerless mitts in February.)

My go to chicken meals are fajitas and shish kabobs. And the chicken rice thing that I think I've already given you. Or rubbing a filet with spices and grilling in a cast iron pan. Or sauteing with frozen veggies and then mixing with pasta and lemon pepper seasoning.

I don't like dark meat, so I just buy skinless, boneless chicken breasts now. I'm paying more but it's worth it given that I get home around 6:30 and am rarely in the mood to fuss much with dinner. But this also means that I don't experiment much anymore, so I'll looking forward to hearing your results.

My plan is to freeze much of this so that I just park it in the oven to cook/reheat while I exercise.

And believe it or not, the cats are so spoiled that one only eats white meat and one only eats dark.

I get that, but beyond marinades and stews, I'm not very good at pre-prep like that.

My buns are spoiled too, but thankfully they've not started eating meat. Though I do spend an amazing amount on mixed greens for them.
