Favorite leftover roast chicken ideas?

I'm a huge fan of Ellie Kriger's chicken quesadillas. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ellie-krieger/easy-chicken-mushroom-quesadillas-recipe.html

It's not really diet friendly, but it's amazing. This is how I use use up leftover roast chicken.
Google "the girl who ate everything chicken and spinach stuffed shells"
One of the best internet recipes I've ever found.

I like to sauté onions and peppers in evoo, add chopped chicken and salt and pepper, and serve over leftover rice.

Check out Pinterest for recipes. I saw a recipe for a sandwich with all kinds of yummy veggies and some chicken. I have a few boards on recipes. The one that is Paleo is the best for health foods...https://www.pinterest.com/saharahtreasure/paleo-recipes/ good luck

What everyone else said. My favorites are definitely a pita/tortilla/flatbread pizza (BBQ or Thai peanut), quesadillas, enchiladas, stuffed peppers, zucchini boats, and chicken chili (white or red).

Stovetop rice casserole: Cook rice in chicken bouillon over sauteed onions, red sweet peppers, and garlic. (If you have a lot of calories for the day, you can add a bit of sausage if you have some.) 5 minutes before it's done, toss in the torn bits of chicken to warm up as the rice cooks.

Or: with zucchini and garlic, over rice (or pasta if you like it).

Or: in a pita with tzatziki and sliced onions & tomatoes. Tzatziki: diced cucumbers, garlic, bit of oil, dill mixed into Greek yogurt.

Or: in a flatbread with pesto, roasted peppers or mushrooms, zucchini, bit of cheese, maybe a small slice of proscuitto.

Or: tossed in a sauce of soy, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger, over rice, with boiled or steamed greens. (Add some pre cooked frozen shrimp if you want.)

Or: chicken salad sandwich: mayo & chopped green onion & celery on a bread you like.

Or: in a kind of chicken pie - shredded, over smashed potatoes and brussel sprouts, with a red wine/garlic sauce, and baked. Or same sauce with the chicken just heated up, with some boiled new potatoes quickly sautéed in garlic and butter and some greens.

Or: just warmed up in a pan after you cook some asparagus and cherry tomatoes (that one's a jamie oliver recipe iirc).

You could chop or shred it into this recipe

I made this for dinner tonight. Turned out pretty amazing.

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a slow boil. Reduce and simmer until potatoes are tender. Makes about 6 cups 204 calories per cup. (if you go by the above weights.)

I eat a lot of buffalo chicken. Mix with wing sauce and some low cal ranch or blue cheese (I use Bolthouse), then put on a sandwich or eat over greens as a salad.

This seems delicious! I like the Bolthouse dressings too. Over greens in a salad it will be

i buy tiki masala or vindaloo indian sauces and put a jar of that, chicken and frozen peas in there and serve it over rice.
