Stew a chicken with a little onion or onion powder, carrot if you have one, celery if available and some garlic powder!. If you don't have one or any of these ingredients then just add salt and pepper the other ingredients just add a little flavor!.
When the chicken is done take the meat off the bones!. You now have enough meat about 4 cups for two recipes!.
First recipe:
AMISH CHICKEN CASSEROLE
8 oz broad egg noodles
1/2 cup butter
8 oz fresh mushrooms, slice
1/3 cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
salt and pepper, to taste
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups cooked chicken, cut in cubes
generous pinch of rubbed sage
Cook noodles as directed on package!. Melt butter and cook mushrooms in a large skillet until lightly browned!. Stir in flour and blend in with a fork or slotted spoon!. Stir in milk and broth and seasonings; whisk sauce constantly until thickened!.
Combine sauce, noodles and chicken!. Adjust seasonings to taste!. Place in a 2 quart casserole dish!. Sprinkle top with Parmesan cheese and bake at 350°F for 30 minutes
Second recipe can be:
chicken tacos use some of the broth instead of water with the taco mix or if you have salsa use salsa instead on the packet of sauce!.
Chicken salad
I just add mayo, onion and celery
Make a gravy with the broth add the chicken and a can of vegall put in a pie crust and you have a potpie!.
Or just make a gravy add the chicken and serve over rice!.
Another thought is have you looked into Angel Ministries!? They sell a box of food for 30!.00 and then have add ons!. but you have to order in advance!.

Too many recipes to mention when funds are low!. But what I can say is that I look for "managers specials" in the meat dept!.
Only because they have one day left on the meat counter and use that!. I usually buy just about all of them and freeze them and use them to make great meals which I stretch!.
For example!. They will have whole chickens on super sale for 2!.00 dollars!. I bake the chicken and use part of it for current dinner!. Second usage is for chicken salad school lunches and I save the bones!.
I'll take the bones, cook them down with onions, carrots and celery and make broth!. I then make soup with the broth and the small tidbits of chicken meat which was left on the bones!.
You have no idea what I can do!. Being unemployed for many months you learn to utilize so much from so little!.
