Roasted Chicken Saves the Dinner

Roasted chicken is popular in the deli department of most grocery stores these days.  They can save dinner in several ways.  Roasted chicken is reasonably priced, and picking it up on your way home from work is a snap.  Add rice or noodles with English peas or green beans and you have supper.

If you get two chickens, save the second one for another night.  These chickens are tender and easily release from the bone to provide a base for several choice chicken dishes.  Use the de-boned meat in a casserole with noodles and chicken soup topped with cheese.  You might also chop the boneless meat and add to sauteed onions and peppers for tacos or fajitas.  Add some salsa for authentic Mexican taste.

To make a superior soup, remove the skin and bones, and add a can of chicken broth and a can of water to the meat.  Bring it to a gentle boil.  Add a can of biscuits cut in thirds and allow to simmer for about fifteen minutes.  Bake another can of biscuits in the oven.  Serve hot.

When the weather is hot, use the boneless chicken in a crisp garden salad with a light dressing.  Delicious!
