I was at a church potluck in Mesquite two months ago and watched a lady turn one $5 rotisserie chicken into three different dishes for the table. She said the trick was using the bones for broth and the meat for two meals, and I've been doing it ever since. What's your go-to move for making one cheap protein stretch across a few dinners?
