Deconstruction of a Chicken

Chicken tomato stew tonight (chicken, tomatoes, onion, mushroom, peppercorns, bay and spices to taste; cook all day on high so the bones really soften and release everything they can). Tomorrow's lunchtime leftovers will be the last of the chicken. So a four pound chicken works out to the following:

Initial dinner for 2
2 chicken and rice lunches
Chicken pizza for 2
1 chicken and rice lunch and 1 chicken skin lunch
Chicken stew dinner for 2
Chicken stew lunch for 2

I looked at the $17 price tag on the chicken and thought "yowzers." But the bird has given us the main course for 12 meals. Not bad. Arigatou, chicken-chan.
