So there are whole chickens on sale right now at the grocery store (like .97 cents a lb) so I bough a bunch of 4 lbs chickens. I am freezing some and of course have roasted some. But I want to cook some and use the meat to make meals which I can then freeze.

So does anyone have any good recipes to make using whole chicken? (other then whole chicken lol) Something not crazy high in cals would be good and something I can freeze for use later

I'm making

soup/stews
Buttered chicken (from the crazy plates ladies)

Any other ideas?

thanks in advance.

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich!

    shred some of the chicken, mix with Texas Pete's Buffalo sauce (or any other buffalo sauce this just happens to be my favorite) and red onions. Put on a whole wheat bun and top with a little shredded cheese! This is my fiance's favorite!

    I usually put leftover baked chicken in half of a pita pocket, along with a little avocado, cheddar cheese, and lettuce. Pretty delicious and calorically reasonable.

    Chicken Enchiladas or anything that requires shredded chicken, poppyseed chicken (that may not be the healthiest, I haven't figured out nutrition information), bbq chicken sandwiches

    You name it I make it.... pizza, sandwiches, enchiladas, salad (green salad or with mayo), throw it in to rice or pasta sauce.
    Here are some of my Fav's...leftover lemonpepper on a white pizza and throw on some spinach, or add some BBQ sauce to roasted chicken and put on a bun or a pizza with red onions (YUM).
