I make this recipe with leftover chicken, turkey or ham. Yummy!

Next Day Turkey Primavera
Prep/Total Time: 30 minutes

1 cup uncooked penne pasta
8 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
2/3 cup julienned carrot
3 T butter
4 large fresh mushrooms, sliced
½ cup chopped summer squash
½ cup chopped zucchini
1-1/2 cups shredded cooked turkey
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 envelope Italian salad dressing mix
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, sauté asparagus and carrot in butter for 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms, yellow squash and zucchini; sauté until crisp tender.

Stir in the turkey, tomato, dressing mix and cream. Bring to a boil cook and stir for 2 minutes.

Drain pasta; add to vegetable mixture and toss to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toss again. Yield: 4 servings.

****This would be equally tasty with chicken or ham.****

Combine cut-up pieces of chicken with diced peeled apples, any kind of chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, almonds), raisins and diced celery. Mix with enough mayo to moisten it, a teaspoon of dijon mustard, a little sea salt and either serve it as sandwiches or on lettuce for a nice salad.

Or make a chicken taco soup with canned diced tomatoes, canned corn, black beans or kidney beans or pinto beans (or all 3), taco seasoning, whatever heat your family likes (canned jalapenos, or Rotel tomatoes or mild chilis), sauteed onions and a sauteed red or green pepper, almost anything you can think of that you might like on a taco. Add enough chicken stock or water to make it a soup consistency, heat it well and add the leftover chicken. Serve it with tortilla chips, sour cream and shredded cheese.

Stir fry any vegetables you have (carrots, onions, peppers), add a little soy sauce and some orange juice and let that reduce (a tablespoon of soy, maybe a half cup of orange juice), and stir the chicken in. Serve over rice.

Shred it, mix it with any bottled barbecue sauce, heat through and serve it on buns.

Make a simple white sauce (melt about 4 T butter, add 4 T flour, cook until the flour is absorbed and stir in about 2 cups of milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened). Put the leftover chicken, cubed, into a casserole pan, add whatever vegetables you have (thawed, if frozen, and cooked if they're fresh, or drained if they're in a can; carrots, broccoli, peas would all be good), pour the sauce over and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Stir to combine, and bake until heated through.

I would say chicken tacos or soup. OR, our grocery store makes chicken salad with rotisserie chicken and it is to die for! I don't really know how to make it, but if you do, then you could try that. I just buy theirs premade and it's delicious!

Chicken pot pie. Depending on how much is left, one or two cans of cream of chicken, two rolls of pillsbury biscuits. Cut up the chicken and mix w/the cream of chicken and place in a dish.
Biscuits need to be precooked. Then place on top of the chicken concoction. Stick in the oven for 20 minutes or so at 350.

I always have different sauces from trader joes in my pantry for left over chicken. Alfredo, Marsala, curry, vodka sauce, spaghetti, etc etc. Throw chicken in pan cover with sauce maybe add a veggie to the sauce. And prepare rice or pasta. All of these are super quick. If you don't want to add veggies to the sauce trader joes and other stores have salads that you just toss in a bowel....

chicken salad
chicken enchiladas
chicken soup, I have a great recipe:

1 large can green enchilada sauce
2 cans of chicken broth
1 can of water (I use the chicken broth can)
2-3 garlic cloves
1 tbsp. oregano
1 large can of white homony drained
and the chicken

throw it all in a pot on the stove and heat up - the recipe calls to top it with cut up cabbage. I use that, shredded cheese, and some diced up onions with cilantro, and some fresh limes to squeeze in it. It is delicious and super easy!

I use leftover chicken for everything. Today I made chicken, leek and carrot soup. Kids and I LOVED it. You could make chicken chili, chicken salad. Use it to top off a green salad. Eat it plain with some veggies, If anything I said sounds appealing, let me know and I'll post a recipe. I don't follow one persay but I can tell you what I put in it.

Fajitas!

Some red, yellow & orange bell peppers, some onions if you like...your favorite fajita/spicy seasoning and some tortillas...maybe some sour cream...make some spanish rice for the side and your golden!

Chicken and dumplings or Chicken Spegetti is great!

There is this chinese dish called jook (or rice porridge). Really good on a cold day.

Wash 2 cups of rice (or less). Put a turkey leg or chicken pieces (frozen is fine) w/the rice and fill enough to cover the turkey/chicken. Bring it to a boil and turn it down (medium). As the water evaporate, add chicken broth and cook (low). Do it until the rice breaks up. You can use a wisk to break up the rice. Usually it takes me 1 hour and 30 minutes. Then take the meat out, cut it up and then add it back into the porridge. Also add salt for your taste buds.

Soup! You can put anything you want in it, and you have a meal. Add rice or pasta to make it go further, and be more filling for everyone. It's our favorite way to use rotisserie chickens.

chicken salad :) you could make wraps...yum!
