I am looking for recipes/cooking ideas that call for chicken stock. Chefs, can you send me non-soup ideas?

I have a freezer full of chicken stock and chicken bones that I am going to make into chicken stock. I am on a budget but I can't stand to make any more chicken soup or stew. It's too hot outside! Anybody have any suggestions for me? Thanks!I am looking for recipes/cooking ideas that call for chicken stock. Chefs, can you send me non-soup ideas?
You could use it to cook risotto. Or even as a base to a sauce to go with something else (just add white wine reduce it down by 3/4, then chicken stock and reduce again by 3/4, add cream and seasoning - tarragon or star anise as optional).I am looking for recipes/cooking ideas that call for chicken stock.

Boil rice, pasta, and potatoes in it, use a little in place of milk in mashed potatoes.





Gravy, some marinades call for it.





Rachel Ray had a recipe for a spinach pesto pasta that uses chicken stock in place of about 1/2 the oil.





Try using it for 1/2 the oil in hummus for more flavor, and less fat.
One of my family's favorites:





CHICKEN TETRAZZINI





1 lb. pasta, cooked


1/2 pound fresh mushrooms


1 stick butter


2/3 cup flour


1 large onion, sliced


5 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped


4 c. chicken broth


2 c. light cream


1/4 cup dry sherry


4 c. diced chicken, cooked


1 c. grated Parmesan cheese


1/3 teaspoon garlic powder


Salt and pepper to taste





Cook and drain pasta according to package directions. Slice the mushrooms 1/8 of an inch thick and saut茅 in 2-3 tablespoons of the butter, along with sliced onion, and chopped garlic until lightly browned. Combine the remaining butter with flour and add chicken broth, stirring over low heat until thickened. Add the cream, salt, pepper, sherry, and garlic powder.


Divide the sauce in half. And one half of the chicken meat, and half of the mushrooms and cooked pasta. Butter a casserole dish and turn the pasta mixture into the casserole leaving a well in the center of the pasta.





Turn remaining cooked chicken half into the center of the pasta mixture. Top with Parmesan cheese, and bake uncovered at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.





Optional: may also top with butter to breadcrumbs and grated cheddar or American cheese.

use your stock when cooking rice for any hotdish or when cooking pasta for salads or hotdish. It can add wonderfull flavor.


Use for gravy, or if you make stove top stuffing for a side dish.


Boil your stock down further to concentrate it more and then it will take up less space in your freezer too.

You can cook vegetables, rice, noodles in the broth or use to make stuffing. You could also make Chicken chili, Chicken stew, pasta or Chicken gravy.
I use chicken stock to make chicken pot pie. You could use some of your stock to make gravies for those types of recipes.
