REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - cjs - 04-14-2016 Honest to God, I am not hawking my Leftovers book, but chicken is one of our favorite summer proteins, so I'm always on the lookout for what to do with l/os. Just looked thru the chicken section of "I Have LEFTOVERS...." and looking at this page, now I'm thinking I don't have enough l/o for all I'd like to make again. Just thought I'd share this page with you all - hopefully some new ideas for everyone. a Chef’s Journey ideas for leftover chicken: • Pizza topping along with BBQ sauce, scallions, jalapenos and cheddar cheese. • Chicken salad: mix with mayonnaise, sprinkle of tarragon, chopped celery, salt and pepper ~ a little leftover bacon never hurts either. • Sauté a couple mushrooms and onions until onions are crisp-tender; stir in sour cream, BBQ sauce and chopped chicken. Cook over very low heat until heated through. Serve over noodles, rice, quinoa, couscous…. • Mix chicken pieces with green onions and use for omelet filling. • Add to potato salad or substitute for ground beef in lasagna or tacos. • Add a little pesto to Alfredo sauce and heat with chicken cubes and serve over bow tie pasta. • Add along with leftover rice to a can of vegetable, cream of chicken or cream of tomato soup. • Twice baked potato: Mix with the potato, chicken, green onions, and bacon bits and return to potato skins; top with grated cheese and bake until heated through. • Prepare a package of white sauce mix; add chicken and mixed vegetables for a pot pie and top with seasoned bread cubes. • Chicken & Rice Wraps: Combine chicken, cooked rice, chopped radishes for crunch and spoon into a tortilla and top with cheese and lettuce; roll up. • Chicken & Caesar salad: Chicken cubes, lettuce, croutons and grated Parmesan cheese tossed with Caesar salad dressing. Grapes would be a nice addition, also. • Mix diced chicken with a batch of sweet and sour sauce and serve over cooked rice; top with green onion slices. • Brush slices of chicken or turkey with jalapeno jelly and a splash of lime juice; bake, covered, until heated through. 76 Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 04-14-2016 Seeing you've got my typical go to ideas: stir fry, salad, creamy pesto pasta, tacos, and pot pies; I'll have to think about this one. If I think of anything to add, I'll let you know. Otherwise, thanks for the new ideas. Wait, what about the buffalo chicken sandwiches?!?! And add chicken to a BLT to make a club type sandwich? I'll keep thinking. Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - Trixxee - 04-14-2016 C@H has a great recipe for club sandwich quesadillas that uses leftover sliced chicken. I need to make that again, so good. Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - cjs - 04-14-2016 Well, if we're adding to my list, I can delete the "REALLY O.T." I guess. ![]() I was just patting myself on the back for doing a good job. ![]() Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 04-14-2016 Goodness! I read the second sentence wrong! I read it as if you didn't have enough ideas! Sorry! Didn't mean to step on your toes, Jean. It is a spectacular list! Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - cjs - 04-14-2016 My toes will grow back....no problem at all, you know that! ![]() Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - Gourmet_Mom - 04-14-2016 ![]() Re: REALLY O.T. - Leftover Chicken - luvnit - 04-16-2016 ![]() |
