Found out I can stretch one rotisserie chicken into 7 meals if I plan right

I can barely stretch one chicken into one meal before I'm back for seconds.

@mitchell.thomas I feel you on that, some of us just inhale chicken. But I gotta gently push back on the "7 meals" thing unless you're counting broth as a meal. Like, one chicken gives you maybe 2 decent servings of actual meat if you're being honest. The rest is mostly shreds and skin you stretch into soup or sandwiches. Still good planning, but calling it 7 meals feels like a stretch. @mitchell.thomas you and me would probably just eat it all in one sitting anyway.

A buddy of mine swore he could make one rotisserie chicken last a full week. He saved every bone and scrap for broth, picked the meat clean, and portioned it out for salads, wraps, and casseroles. By day five he was eating broth with a few shreds of chicken and calling it a "hearty meal." @blairm77 is probably right about it being more like 2 good servings of meat with a lot of stretching. My friend finally admitted he caved and ordered pizza on day six.
