  • You could cook
    • a chicken, mushroom and chickpea curry
    • a chicken and vegetable pie
    • a chicken topped pizza
    • a Chicken stir fry
    • Jacket potatos with coronation chicken
    All of these would use one breast and stretch to four servings.
  • Some very good ideas here, but it might be worth buying a whole bird to 'rubber chicken' rather than pricey chicken breasts - unless you get them on a whoopsie.
  • hi i normaly do buy a whole chicken when they are on offer my partner works at tesco and he got the breasts really cheap thank you for all the ideas i did put some veg in the curry and them kids didnt even notice
