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.
