Leftover Chicken help!!

[cookingwithdana]

Hi, I roasted a chicken last night and I have about 1/2 of it left. Mostly the breast and wings. Does anyone have any ideas of what I can make for dinner tonight with the leftovers. I don't really want to make a sandwhich or salad, but I'm open to it.

Thanks so much
Dana

chicken pot pie! I made some last week using condensed chicken soup and canned mixed vegies with the left-over chicken, and used puff pastry from the freezer for the crust (top only).

Just snack on the wings, but dice or shred up that breast meat & add to a stirfry. Or buy some flour tortillas or crisp corn taco shells & make quesadillas, soft or hard tacos. Make a cream or cheese sauce, add chicken, & top huge baked potatoes with the mixture. There really aren't many things you can't do with leftover chicken.

Best recipe method for leftover chicken:

1) place the chicken on a plate.
2) cover the plate with foil.
3) bring the plate to my house, and give it to me.
4) go home, so I can eat my dinner.

Hmm... That's probably not an ideal recipe for you, is it?

I've got one: Chicken Chilli!!!! I've got a killer recipe for it if you'd like.

I was asked for the recipe so I figured I'd share it here as well for everyone. Adust the amount of veggies to suit your tastes. You can also add any leftover veg from the dinner.
