Low carb recipe with chicken? Anyone have a good one?

[molly]

Hi all!

I roasted a chicken last night and we ate the breast meat but I have the whole rest of the darn thing left.

I would normally make a soup or casserole out of the left overs. But, I'm on this silly low carb diet and I need a good recipe for left over roasted chicken that does not include noodles or stuffing or carbs of any sort!

Do you know of anything?

I will be eternally greatful if someone can help me make a something tasty out of chicken, without carbs.

Good luck right? hahaha...

Thanks in advance,
Molly

This is a fabulous recipe. You could also do a tortilla soup, quiche or fritatta with the leftover chicken meat.
