Roasted chicken will quickly disappear from a table during a family dinner or a bigger gathering, but when you make it to feed just a few people, chances are that you will be stuck with a lot of leftover chicken. And we know that leftover chicken isn’t as good as a chicken that just came out of the oven. Still, this doesn’t make it less valuable. Instead of reheating leftover chicken and enjoying less than a great experience, use it as a basis for more exciting meals. Like these ones below.
Chicken Burrito
The easiest way to put your leftover chicken to use is a burrito. Grab a tortilla, load it with chicken bits, veggies, and condiments, and you have yourself a dinner.
Chicken Pizza
Surprise your taste buds with a different kind of pizza. Instead of pepperoni or sausage, top the pizza with leftover chicken, and you’ll get a one-of-a-kind gastronomic experience.
Chicken Noodle Soup
Why settle for a regular noodle soup when you can have chicken noodle soup? Just add leftover chicken to the noodle soup towards the end of the cooking process and see a good meal turn awesome.
Chicken Salad
You don’t need to pay big bucks in restaurants to have a great chicken salad. Slice up some veggies, add croutons and a bit of feta cheese, throw in the leftover chicken in the mix and dig in.
Pulled Chicken Sandwich
In case you are willing to put in a bit more effort, then pulled chicken sandwich is a perfect way to put your leftover chicken to use. Simply shred the chicken in a bowl using your hands or forks, add condiments like hot sauce and ketchup, onions, and dried chili, and give it all a good mix. Put the pulled chicken between two pieces of bread, and you are ready to go.
