On Saturday I cooked a whole chicken in my slow cooker & managed to squeeze 13 meals from it.
Saturday- 2 x chicken, mashed potatoes, veg & gravy.
Sunday-2 x HM chicken curry (I made a huge pan full bulking it out with butternut squash, roasted peppers etc) rice & pimped up nan bread.
I made enough to fill 2 tubs to freeze, each tub holding 2 portions.
Monday - 3 x the rest of the chicken heated up in a pan with gravy, mashed potatoes HM Yorkshire pudding & veg.
Tuesday - 2 x leftovers from last night.
I have to say I'm very proud of myself!
It now begs the question, how many meals can you get from a chicken?

I haven't managed to make more than 6 meals from a chicken... usually 2 chicken+veg/potatoes and a 4-portion chicken pie. Either your chickens are huge or you eat very very little!!

Can you explain what you put with the chicken in the slow cooker..? I haven't been brave to try yet as I feel it will be a bit bland...

Bolognese on mine tonight! (first time!!)

Savoury mince in Mummy SC, and an experimental Morrisons Chocolate Cheesecake Brownie mix in Baby SC (pots and steamed white cabbage in the multicooker to be all ready for 6)

Well - have you made stock out of the carcass and then strip the remaining meat off? There's some soup or rissotto so that's another few meals :T.

On day three of a shoulder of pork I slow cooked on Friday sitting on carrots, red onions, white onions, parsnips, passata, bay leaves, bouquet garnie and paprika, 8 hours later, done. Had it with tinned new potatoes and fresh mushrooms popped in for two hours to re-heat on Saturday, with roast potatoes on Sunday, new potatoes and mushrooms again on Monday and the same again tonight (warming though nicely as I type). Not bad for £12 from our local butcher!
