Ideas: What to do with all that chicken?
January 17, 2008 in IOTD
This post won’t constitute recipes, but I know that often when a chicken has been roasted, produced from stock, or even purchased from a store already cooked – leftovers ensue. So what to do with that chicken before you grow tired of just, umm, chicken?
- Cut into bites or shred the chicken. Use for salad over spinach or other greens. Mix with your favorite veggies, dried fruit, nuts, and maybe a touch of cheese. Sprinkle with vinegar & olive oil for a delicious lunch.
- Shred the chicken then mix with salsa. Serve in tortillas or over tostada shells with black beans, lettuce, cheddar cheese, guacamole, and of course, more salsa! A little rice is a great touch too.
- Alternatively use the chicken with salsa to make a quessadilla.
- Cut the chicken into small cubes or chunks. Make a fresh chicken salad with a little bit of mayo, celery, green onions – and to spice it up, add some curry powder & dried cranberries! This is a favorite way of eating chicken for me.
- Shred or cut the chicken and use on pizza. It is much healthier than many sausages and with a bit of goat cheese and fresh tomatoes, it really cannot be beat.
There are few ideas to get you started! If you have any, please share!
