How far can you stretch a chicken?

I tried just out of curiosity to see how far I could stretch a 5 pd whole chicken.

Day one: Roasted the chicken, served chicken with potatoes, gravy and veggies

Day Two: Made broth, used some of the leftover chicken and made chicken a la king

Days Three and Four: Made a pot of chicken soup (I did cheat and add some chicken bullion and water to stretch the broth) had this for two nights and my darling took some for work the next day....

Another chicken:

Day One: Roast Chicken with wild rice and fresh veggies

Days 2-5: Used broth and veggies made a thick chicken stew with dumplings and salad.

Still enough left for a day of hot lunch for Husband.

Think I like whole chickens. Now if I can just find a place that sells "real" unadulterated chickens that wont break the bank.
