I felt like a pioneer woman this weekend. Well, if pioneer women had a grocery store with prepackaged whole chickens and a crockpot…. For months, I had been looking at this recipe for cooking a whole chicken, then making your own chicken stock. For some reason I was afraid to try it. I’m not sure if it seemed too “Suzy Homemaker” or if I was afraid of dealing with the bones. Anyway, I tried it. It was so easy, and I felt ridiculous for not doing it sooner. Now in my freezer I have cooked, shredded chicken and stock ready for whenever I need it. I would estimate that you could make 2-3 meals from this recipe, depending on your family size. So far I have used the chicken and stock in a soup, and it came out great. If you are a working mama, you might want to do this on a weekend. The chicken can cook Saturday afternoon, and the broth will cook overnight.
