Made a large Oven Stuffer Roaster for dinner. Does anyone have any good ideas of what to make with the leftovers. Thanks.
 
Chicken and grape salad

Chicken deboned and diced.
green seedless grapes washed
sour cream to blend in like mayo
sliced green onions amount dependent on how much chicken left
sliced toasted almonds added right before serving

great salad amounts need to be added according to amount of chicken. I use light sour cream and use it sparingly.
 
We used to have what we called "Chow Mein" with leftover chicken. Cook some onion & mushrooms in a little oil, add the chicken, the broth left from roasting it (or just water w/bouillon), 2 cans bean sprouts, 1 can each water chestnuts & bamboo shoots, soy sauce and a little corn starch or Wondra flour to thicken it. Serve over Chinese Noodles.

Leftover Chicken Pie
1 jar chicken gravy 1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 c water 2 c cooked chicken
2 Tbl flour 2 c potatoes
1/8 tsp pepper 2 c mixed vegetables
1 tsp chicken bouillon prepared pie crust
1/2 tsp parsley
Mix gravy, water, flour, pepper, bouillon, parsley & garlic in a large bowl. Stir in chicken, potatoes (canned or nuked & peeled) & veggies. Pour into ungreased casserole. Top with pie crust & seal edges. Cut slits in top & bake at 425 for 30 min, until crust is golden brown & liquid bubbles through slits.

Or . . . .
Curried Rice (good with any leftover meat)
1/2 c sunflower seeds
1/2 c raisins
1 tsp curry
dash pepper
1 c meat, cooked & diced
4 Tbl butter
1 c mushrooms
1 c veggies
1 c pineapple
4 c rice

Cook the rice per instructions on box. Melt butter in a large pan & saute veggies, meat, seeds, raisins & spices. Toss in the rice & garnish with pineapple.

We love chicken salad made with leftover chicken. I use chicken, sweet relish, finely diced onion and celery, Miracle Whip and a tiny bit of mustard. Also good for pot pie.
 
Chicken casadeas (SP)
I just buy the flat tortia chop up the chicken, shredded cheese hot peppers to taste. fill half fold it over and pop it on the grill till the cheese melts. Serve with sauce
I sometimes add onions too!
 
No time right this second, but I'll post later a recipe that we love from one of the Cooking Light cookbooks I have. There is nothing 'light' tasting about it, it is absoultely yummy and freezes re-heats nicely.

Red Chicken Chili. You can tame the spices if your not a lover of spicy foods.
