I’m looking for a new to me idea for dinner. What’s your favorite thing to do with leftover chicken? I’m the only one that will eat soup so that’s not a possibility. We have done tacos/burritos, quesadillas, cabbage stir fry, bbq sandwiches. Nothing is sounding good right now. I also don’t want to go to the store but have a fairly stocked pantry/freezer. I’ve googled and nothing really sounded good or we were missing items or they wanted me to pay to read the article  . So I came here. The Peas rarely disappoint. . |

I usually freeze leftover chicken for a later use. Why couldn't you make some soup just for yourself? Freeze it in single-serve containers and then you have lunch all set for awhile.
Mostly I use leftover chicken like that for soup, stew, tacos, shredded bbq (like pork, only with chicken, lol), chicken tetrazini (same as the turkey stuff but we don't like turkey), chicken salad... We also just eat it cut up on our plate with some sides.

We made ours into chicken pot pie last night. It was great comfort food during a snowstorm.

I usually just add Mayo and make a sandwich our of it. If I am feeling more inspired I will add hard boiled egg and grapes and then the sandwich is really good.

Carrots
Onions
Celery
Thyme
Garlic
Carcass
Rosemary
Salt/Pepper/Soup Seasoning
Chicken broth or bouillon cube
All in a pot
Final step is adding egg noodles. I hate soggy waterlogged noodles so I add to each bowl instead of the entire pot.

Chicken pot pie or chicken salad These are my go-tos with leftover rotisserie chicken. Sometimes I chop it up and make chicken fried rice out of it too. There are a bunch of recipes for leftover chicken in The Dinner Doctor cookbook. But last week I’ve been feeding it to my injured dog because she just wouldn’t eat any dry kibble and I needed the pup to eat so I could give her some meds. I actually broke down and bought a day old (refrigerated) rotisserie chicken from Target specifically to feed to the dog! How sad is that? |

We make wraps with rice, cucumber, crunches and sesame dressing with left over chicken.
Last night we had chicken pesto sandwiches. Just pesto, mayo and rotisserie chicken on toasted sourdough.
My favorite would probably require going to the store but I make a cider style pot pie. Just brown some shallot or onion, add hard apple cider, broth and mascarpone, rotisserie chicken heat and put in soup bowls and top with puff pastry.
Also I make a lentil mexican dish with leftover chicken. Just make a simple roux, add some broth and salsa and mix with the chicken. Put some corn chips in a casserole dish, top with cooked lentils and chicken mixture. Add some cheese and repeat. Cover and bake 30 minutes and then remove foil and bake until cheese is browned.

Quesadillas or fried rice - both great if you also have veggies to use up.

Freeze it, make chicken salad for sandwiches, or I'll make white sauce chicken enchiladas. Yummy!

Chicken enchiladas if you have the sauce in the can
I love to use leftover chicken or meats and veggies to mixed up with pasta and use pesto or a garlic sauce on it. And lots of Parmigiano cheese.
I call it my kitchen sink pasta dish.
Its a great way to use leftovers or soon to be going bad veggies(I roast them under the broiler with eevo +seasoning)

Chicken salad
Quesadillas
I also make a sort of chicken hash with potatoes, broccoli, chicken and cheese. - just cut it up and cook in some butter in a pan until the potatoes are soft and the broccoli is cooked. Throw in shredded cheese at the end and let it melt.

If I have a rotisserie chicken, I'll put aside the the breast meat before letting the family eat the dark meat for dinner.
The breast meat gets turned into chicken salad.
Any rare leftover dark meat is added to a stir fry or used in sandwiches/paninis/quesadillas.

Chicken Pox Pie, chicken salad wraps, over salad. LOL!!! Don’t feed your family the chicken pox!!! 🤣 Lol! As a little kid I called all pot pie Chicken Pox Pie, so there is turkey Chicken Pox Pie and beef Chicken Pox Pie. It started when my 4 siblings all got chicken pox when I was in 1st grade and we had chicken pot pie for the first time. I managed to combine the two new things, and no one in my family ever corrected me. I was in high school when I realized it, and tried to correct in front of people who weren't family. Now in my mid 50s I'm tired of trying to remember my weird peccadillos and let my freak fly. I must have been British in a past life. When I started school I struggled mightily with spelling things in the American way. It mostly involves the adding of the letter u to words like color making it the British spelling colour. Tons of spelling tests and writing assignments with errors like that. |
