Looking for ways to stretch your dollar on chicken and beef meals?
Look at purchasing chicken breast with the bone in. Try to buy any chicken with the bone in it. It is almost always cheaper with the bone in it. Cook it down in some water with bits of onions the leaves from your celery, carrots etc. When it's cooked and falling off the bone remove all chicken and vegetables from the water as you now have chicken broth. Chill the broth so that the fat hardens on top and remove it. You can freeze it for later to use in recipes that call for water or broth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Use the chicken about 1 breast is about the same amount as 1 can. Use it for chicken tacos, salads, enchiladas anywhere you use cooked canned chicken.
You can do the same with lower cost beef too. the broth makes great soups. I use both with bbq (homemade) sauce for pulled meat sandwiches.
I like to use the chicken pieces for Quesadillas & I shred pepper jack cheese. Yummy!

I enjoy using the chicken broth in my big batch of vegetable soup. mmmmm sometimes I add noodles or rice too.
For the beef I don't do it as much but the broth really does go well with my veg. beef stew. The more you try new ways of cooking the more you enjoy it & find your own twist on it. Plus you can find more ways to save money.
Keep following, there will be more on this in future posts!
