Quick Shredded Chicken Ideas?

springlering62

I ate Lidl chicken sausages like crazy, but they’ve reformulated and raised the calories by 50%.

So yesterday I crockpotted a bunch of shredded chicken.

Ideas for quick lunch and breakfasts appreciated.

This morning I had four ounces chicken, cheddar cheese, egg whites and cowboy caviar salsa rolled up in a carb smart tortilla. 253 calories, 40.1 (!!!!!) protein.

BBQ or Thai peanut sauce is an easy one.

What have you tried?

Are you sure they didn't just change the portion size on the label? That doesn't seem like a good marketing ploy unless they're trying to jump on the Keto wagon.

I use shredded chicken for everything.

BBQ sandwiches
Tostadas
With various vegetables and pasta
On salads

Had shredded chicken with melted brie and warned over sun-dried tomatoes for last night's dinner 😋

Buffalo sauce, spring onions and a little cheese

In a tortilla with lettuce and Ranch or Caesar dressing.

Like others have said, in sandwiches, salads, or pasta.

I like to pair chicken breast with higher calorie carbs, like ravioli.

On the not-so-quick front, tonight I'm giving Lemon Pesto Pasta a shot:

You can also do a search for recipes using leftover rotisserie chicken. Here's 140:

Enchilada filling - mix chicken with canned enchilada sauce and cheese (add garlic and green chiles if you want), roll in corn tortillas and place in a baking dish, cover with more enchilada sauce and cheese, bake 400F for about 20 minutes.

A chopped avocado, a jar of commercial salsa, a handful of roughly chopped coriander and the chicken. Have it in a soft taco shell.

Same 5 pieces/12oz package as before.

The ingredients list is very limited. Italian is chicken, green pepper, seasonings,flavorings and collagen casing. Unless collagen casings are way high calorie, I’m trying to figure out where all the calories are.

I wrote to them expressing a loud, anxious consumer waaaaaaaaah and got a canned response back that they’d direct my feedback to Consumer Review.

I ate my weight in their sausage every month. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks. It was very very good.

Thanks for the shredded chicken ideas, peeps.

Shredded chicken on top of lettuce, sliced sweet onions, and sliced tomatoes with tzatziki sauce
1 cucumber
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups Fage 0% Fat Greek yogurt
3 or 4 large garlic cloves, finely minced or pressed
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt (1 tsp in total)

Peel, half horizontally and then vertically. With the back of a teaspoon, remove the seeds by scraping down the middle. Grate the cucumber, place on a tea towel and squeeze as much water out as you can. Open towel, add 1/2 tsp salt to top of shredded cucumbers, close towel and squeeze. Allie to drain over a sieve. Set aside.
Combine the yogurt, garlic, vinegar, and remaining salt in a large bowl.
Squeeze cucumber again. Stir cucumbers into yogurt mixture.

Salad, chicken soup, in a tortilla with veg.

I had some leftover so had it for a lazy lunch today with half an avocado, some raw carrots, and a little piece of hard goat cheese. (I would have had cottage cheese too, but am out.)

Sauté onion and shredded cabbage in sesame oil. Add shredded chicken, soy sauce and Asian seasonings. I like Togarashi, wasabi powder and toasted sesame seeds. You can also use the rice seasoning or chili paste.

You can also do this in olive oil and add different spices like cumin/coriander instead.

Mix it with gravy and serve over mashed potato and green beans or peas

Microwave a sweet potato. Mix shredded chicken with some black beans, chili powder, cumin, onion powder, and garlic salt. Top potato with chicken mix + plain greek yogurt and green onions.

I do chicken in the crockpot with onions, peppers, canned tomatoes, garlic, italian seasoning and a bit of white cooking wine. Serve over rice for my husband, plain for me. If it cooks long enough it shreds so might take your shredded and add those things to it.

Salsa chicken:

1 pound chicken breast
1-2 cups favorite Salsa
Crockpot
spray pot with cooking spray, put the chicken and salsa in the pot, cook on low all day while at work or 4-5 hours on high. should fall apart like butter and put on salad, tortillas.....

Oooh let me see...

1. Shredded chicken tacos?
2. Stir fry the shredded chicken with some onions, ginger/garlic paste, tomatoes and Indian curry powder.
3. Mix with Mayo and S&P and chopped grapes and walnuts or cranberries for a lovely Chicken Salad mix?
4. Season with Greek seasoning and eat with some cucumber sauce in a wrap?
