We’ll admit we’re a bit addicted to our phones at times. Whether it’s social media, reading, or catching up on podcasts, sometimes we can’t pull ourselves away.

I realize this is not revolutionary thinking, and I am not the first to write about stretching a chicken into a week of meals. I mean, it’s practically a food writing cliche, and one that often veers into impracticality. Can you really make a week of dinners around one measly chicken? Yes, you can!
