Left over chicken?!


Question: What can I make with the left overs from Sunday's roast chicken?
Had a whole roast bird on Sunday for dinner, but there is such a lot left over. Kept it in the fridge over night.
What would you do, or how would you serve left over chicken the day after?

My wife takes all of the meat from the bones and uses it to make chicken salad. I take my lunch to work, usually sandwiches and this is a welcome change from lunchmeat.

MAKE A CASSEROLE OR PERHAPS GODITAS. USE IN CHICKEN& DUMPLINGS,EYC

I'd make Chicken Pot Pie or some stir-fry. Yummy! You could also have chicken tacos or burritos/enchiladas, or make soup.

You could make soup, enchiladas. cheesy orzo, (saute onions and garlic then boil 2 cans chicken broth and add two cups orzo. Reduce to simmer and put a lid on it. Cook about 20 minutes (just like rice). Add 1/2 cup parmasan cheese, your leftover chicken and broccoli.

You could also make panini sadwiches, or tacos - just warm the meat in a pan add water or chicken broth and some taco type seasonings.

Buy a pre-made pizza crust, some sauce & cheese, and have a chicken pizza!

chicken fried rice

cook some rice (rinse it under running water first) and then let it cool (this is important to let it cool).

finely chop and onion, some carrot - get some peas and some corn.

grab an egg and whisk it up a bit

chop some garlic, grate some fresh ginger (teaspoon)

frying pan - oil - fry the garlic, ginger, oinion, carrot for 5 mins (gently) - add chicken and heat through - add corn and peas and heat. season with salt and pepper (from a mill - lots of it) - remove from the pan.

then add some more oil - turn the heat up and add the egg - mix it around until it's broken up scrambled like. remove.

add more oil - turn the heat up - add rice and stir around till it's all coated etc - add the chicken/vege mix and stir around then add the egg and stir again (keep the gas right up). add a drop of sesame oil (tiny bit). lots more milled black peppper.

can be spiced up by adding a chopped chilli with the onion). or some tabasco.

DO NOT add SOY SAUCE while frying - add this after.

serve in bowls and i prefer with a spoon rather than chopsticks.
