I'll stop at Costco, pick up two deli chickens, and the four of us will eat slightly more than one, with enough leftovers for 1-2 meals (2 if one of the meals is chicken salad for lunch for my husband and I).

My go-to recipe for leftovers is to make a chicken pot pie out of it, or to do chicken salad for lunches. It sounds like next time you could get away with just making one roast chicken as well! I do admire your perseverance in using up all of your chicken and gravy! You've given me a bunch of meal ideas to think over, since I've told Tony that we won't be eating out for the next 5 weeks. Only homemade meals in that time... I hope I can do it! (oh, one other suggestion, is you could do a "tuna casserole" but substitute chicken instead... I did this last night (making everything from scratch - no canned soup for me!) and it was great). We are just a family of two, so one roast chicken generally lasts us quite a bit.
