Make your meals go further with these simple recipes 

At a time when most of us are having to think on our feet about the meals we're preparing at home, and making our groceries go that bit further, having a handy meal plan to follow can bring some much-needed stability to mealtimes and help avoid binning any leftover food. We've devised this simple five-day plan that will help you to make your meals go further, whilst still providing plenty of variety. It's a win-win. All you need is a whole chicken, a packet of sausages, plenty of veg and some store-cupboard favourites and voila, you've got a week's worth of food... <h2>Monday</h2><a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/roast-chicken-salad-sweet-potato-croutons" target="_blank">Roast Chicken Salad with Sweet Potato Croutons</a>A roast chicken doesn't have to take hours of basting and hovering around the oven. A roast-in-the-bag joint not only guarantees juicy, succulent meat but also minimises washing up. Use your roast chicken in this crunchy and colourful salad with crispy roast sweet potato croutons. If you can't get hold of a whole chicken, try chicken or turkey breasts instead, or switch out for tofu. <img alt="roast-chicken-salad-with-sweet-potato-croutons__square" class="ci-image ci-square" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/roast-chicken-salad-with-sweet-potato-croutons__square_GL?scl=1"><h2>Tuesday</h2><a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/recipe/pulled-chicken-thai-basil-curry-green-beans" target="_blank">Pulled Chicken Thai Basil Curry with Green Beans</a>Leftover chicken?
