Leftover roast chicken - What can I do for dinner?

[giggles]

Anyone have a recipe to use up leftover roast chicken?

I don't have the motivation or inspiration to work it out for myself tonight and the hungry mob is calling (well me and DH :p )

Ta!

I usually put that kind of stuff on toasted sandwiches. I'll add tomato or anything i have in the fridge.
Or you could make a nice chicken salad! I don't know if that helps.

Mmmm I saw a beaut recipe in Super Food Ideas for leftover roast chicken.

Simply roast a tray of vegies eg potoatoes, sweet potoato, pumpkin, carrot - whatever you have on hand and then when cooked put in a bowl and toss through some fresh spinach leaves, shredded roast chicken and your fav dressing like ranch or something and Wa La!:chef:

Chicken Pasta Salad...

Boil some Pasta, shred chicken, add some mayo and what ever other tid bits you like...sweet corn, grated carrot, capsicum - what ever is in the fridge.

OR

If it is cold where you are - I'd do a chicken and sweet corn soup. Shred chicken, pop in pot with a can of creamed corn, chicken noodle soup and just B4 u take it off the stove stir in 1 egg.

Put in baking dich, the roasted chicken, chopped capsicum, mushrooms, red onion. Combine a can of Campbells Cream of Chicken and Corn soup, and a quarter cup of sour cream. Pour this over the chicken and stuff, grate cheese on top then bake at 180 C for half an hour. Yum. It's our slack meal when we get takeaway, a roasted chicken from Red Rooster and I make this.

Home made pizza (if you have pizza bases or pita bread). Add chopped chicken and whatever is in the fridge - pineapple, herbs, cheese, bbq sauce, capsicum, mushrooms etc.

I usually shred the chicken, chop up some ham, mushrooms, anything really, cook some pasta, make a white sauce. Then mix it all together, chuck it in a baking dish top with grated cheese and into the oven:thumbsup:

Caesar salad with roast chicken on top. My version of caesar salad is quite easy : regular salad, whatever you have, with bottled caesar dressing, lol. Add some nice bread and cheese too.
