Shredded Chicken ideas

We had an oven-roasted chicken for dinner over the weekend. Leftovers: after deboning, boil the bones for stock (or dog kibble). Saved the meat for wraps and such.

Here are some of my faves:

Chicken Stroganoff

2-3 Chicken breasts - frozen,
1/2 package of Onion soup mix (I actually use 1/2 pkg due to sodium)
98% fat free cream of mushroom soup (+ 1/2 can water)
Onions
Mushrooms
16 oz Fat Free Sour Cream.

Put frozen chicken in the crock pot, top with remaining ingredients, and allow to slow cook all day (I usually cook on low for about 8-10 hrs). Once done, cut up the chicken breasts into bite size pieces (sometimes I shred it), and pour over your choice of either brown rice or whole grain noodles.



Crock Pot Italian Chicken


4 chicken breasts
1 packet dry Zesty Italian dressing (Regular is fine but I like zesty better. Sometimes I use a packet and a half.)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1-2 cans cream of chicken soup (depending how creamy you want it)

Place the chicken in a Crockpot and sprinkle Italian dressing over it. Combine cream cheese and cream of chicken soup in a small pot over low heat and pour over chicken. Cook on low for at least 4 hours. You can leave it in there all day. Once chicken is done you can leave the chicken breasts whole, cube it, or even shred it. I always cut the breasts into tenderloin size strips.

If you feel the sauce is too thick you can thin it to your preferred consistency with a little milk. Serve over pasta or rice.


Crockpot cheesy chicken:

1lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 can healthy request cream of mushroom soup
1 can Campbell’s cheddar cheese soup (healthy request) it has 1/2 the sodium
1 box of whole wheat penne or rotini
1 cup Kraft 2% Mexican four cheese blend
1/2 cup fat free milk
cayenne pepper (as u like)

Place chicken in slow cooker. Season with Mrs. Dash (or whatever seasoning you like)
mix together both soups and milk and pour over chicken and I put cayenne pepper in it as well to spice it up a bit.
Cook on high for 4ish hours
use fork to shred chicken. Cook pasta according to box.
Mix shredded cheese and pasta in with chicken and serve


Pulled Chicken BBQ

Put 6 boneless skinless chicken breast in Crockpot with a little water and some mesquite seasoning cook on high 5-6 hours

Remove chicken and shred it with a fork, drain water, put shredded chicken back into Crockpot and pour in you favorite BBQ sauce amount varies by how much you want on your chicken some people like it more saucy than others, stir it real good and cook another hour. Serve on wheat roll.

bbq'd chicken sandwhiches, bbq chicken quesidilla, chicken tortilla soup, chicken gravy with meat in it over hot waffle (no syrup LOL), chicken taco salads, chicken "pizza" (whole wheat tortilla with sauce, shredded cheese, chicken, onion or same but use bbq sauce on the chicken and add red bells, onion and pineapple ), chicken salad sandwhiches, etc...
