Hey All,

I roasted 2 chickens on Monday evening so we could have leftovers for awhile. I am looking for a supper idea for tonight to use up this leftover chicken. My son is allergic to tomatoes so I have to stay away from that. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Chicken tacos, chicken alfredo, have a green salad with chopped up chicken, chicken and dumplings, chicken noodle soup. Pretty much anything can have chicken in it. Mmmm - I love roasting my chicken.

    I used rice noodles instead of egg and they were great!

    I would toss the chicken in some chinese 5 spice powder and cook on a fairly high heat in a pan until the shredded chicken starts to go crispy. Add some chopped chilli if you like it spicy. It's lovely- like crispy aromatic duck but not....

    Serve it in lettuce wraps with shredded spring onions, cucumber and a little plum/ hoisin sauce.

    or

    low fat coronation chicken- for sandwiches/salads. Mix the chicken with a little low fat mayo/ creme fraiche & add curry powder to taste, a squeeze of lemon juice & a tbsp of mango chutney- mix together & serve.

    or

    or tacos, curry, wraps, soup, stir fry, enchiladas, pitta pockets.

    Skinnytaste also has a chicken pot pie stew recipe that is gorgeous!

    You could shred it, add buffalo sauce and make buffalo wraps with it. Add lettuce, tomato, and fat free ranch on a light, wheat tortilla.

    I like to add pieces of chicken to cooked rice and peas & mix that all together for a nice side dish.

    Check out Hungry Girl's recipe for chicken enchilada casserole. That's one of my fav ways to use left over chicken.
