If you’re roasting a chicken, make sure to hang on to the delicious jucies and fats which collect in the roasting tin. After you’ve finished the chicken itself, this liquid will lend its flavors to a variety of dishes, allowing you to enjoy chicken in loads of meals! Read on for three key meals that will use up the chicken stock.

Pasta Sauces

Any creamy pasta sauce will benefit from a tablespoon or two of chicken stock. Add it to the sauce at the same point that you would add another fat, such as butter or olive oil, and allow it to cook down a little before adding other ingredients. Flavors that go brilliantly with chicken include tarragon, parsley, and sage, so consider adding some of these to really make your pasta sauce sing.

Roast Potatoes

Want to create the best roast potatoes that your guests have ever tasted? Heat 1 tablespoon of chicken stock (including some of the fat) in a roasting tray in an oven heated to 350°F. While it’s heating, prep some potatoes by peeling any bad bits and giving them a scrub, and heat some of the chicken stock in a sauce pan. After 10 minutes, add the potatoes to the tray, then pour over some of the chicken stock to coat the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then roast for 40 minutes until golden brown. You are guaranteed to have crispy, delicious potatoes that will have everyone coming back for more.

Risottos

Risotto is one of those wonderful dishes that really absorbs the flavors added to it throughout the cooking process. As you cook the rice, add the chicken stock along with some wine to lend a heavenly taste and sumptuous texture to your risotto. Don’t forget to keep stirring until the rice has absorbed almost all of the liquid, and is soft and tender to the bite.

  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, celery, and carrots. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and continue to sauté for an additional minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth, and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir in the shredded chicken, dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to simmer, allowing the flavors to meld for at least 15 minutes.
  3. In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Just before serving, add the cooked egg noodles to the soup, allowing them to absorb the savory broth.
  4. Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Ladle the chicken noodle soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with optional lemon wedges for an extra burst of flavor.

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Salt

Instructions:

  2. In the same wok, pour beaten eggs into the remaining oil. Scramble the eggs until just set. Add the mixed vegetables to the eggs and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet crisp.
  3. Push the vegetables and eggs to one side of the wok, creating a space for the rice. Add your pre-cooked rice to the wok, breaking up any clumps and allowing it to heat through. Once the rice is heated, combine it with the vegetables and eggs in the wok.
  4. Pour soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil over the rice mixture. Toss everything together until well combined. Add your chicken back into the wok, stirring to incorporate with the rice and vegetables.

If you’re roasting a chicken, make sure to hang on to the delicious jucies and fats which collect in the roasting tin. After you’ve finished the chicken itself, this liquid will lend its flavors to a variety of dishes, allowing you to enjoy chicken in loads of meals! Read on for three key meals that will use up the chicken stock.

Pasta Sauces

Any creamy pasta sauce will benefit from a tablespoon or two of chicken stock. Add it to the sauce at the same point that you would add another fat, such as butter or olive oil, and allow it to cook down a little before adding other ingredients. Flavors that go brilliantly with chicken include tarragon, parsley, and sage, so consider adding some of these to really make your pasta sauce sing.

Roast Potatoes

Want to create the best roast potatoes that your guests have ever tasted? Heat 1 tablespoon of chicken stock (including some of the fat) in a roasting tray in an oven heated to 350°F. While it’s heating, prep some potatoes by peeling any bad bits and giving them a scrub, and heat some of the chicken stock in a sauce pan. After 10 minutes, add the potatoes to the tray, then pour over some of the chicken stock to coat the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, then roast for 40 minutes until golden brown. You are guaranteed to have crispy, delicious potatoes that will have everyone coming back for more.

Risottos

Risotto is one of those wonderful dishes that really absorbs the flavors added to it throughout the cooking process. As you cook the rice, add the chicken stock along with some wine to lend a heavenly taste and sumptuous texture to your risotto. Don’t forget to keep stirring until the rice has absorbed almost all of the liquid, and is soft and tender to the bite.
