Baked Chicken and Chicken Soup
Did you know that buying a whole chicken to bake is a real cost-saver! Why you ask? Simply because you can produce two meals from one bird! And this particular recipe that I will show you is actually two different recipes which work together to create two meals from one whole chicken. This is a very clever recipe I've learnt so read it.
The baked chicken is a light, healthy meat with very little added fats, preservatives, or any sticky sauces and marinades. It is a great dish to serve to a group of guests, because it is pretty much universally delicious. And you know for sure that you won't be leaving anybody out.
Chicken soup is wonderful when it is homemade. Using your own chicken, noodles, vegetables, and spices makes a soup that is so much better than any store-bought food that you may never buy another can of soup again.
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken
2 carrots
2 stalks of celery
2 c. of noodles
1 small onion
1 Tbsp. rosemary
1 tsp. basil
1 cube of chicken bullion
Instructions:
1- Pre-heat your oven to 350?F.
2- Remove the giblets from the chicken.
3- For a lighter meal, remove the chicken's skin. For a delicious meal, leave the skin in place. To add flavor along with fat, rub a half-stick of butter over the chicken, under its skin.
4- Place the chicken in a baking pan and place it in the oven.
5- Bake the chicken for 25-45 minutes, depending on your preference.
6- Serve and eat the chicken, but do NOT throw away the uneaten portions.
