Ideas for left over chicken please.
I have about half a large chicken left over and am getting bored with curry, so I would appreciate a few ideas. Cheap and simple please. Maybe involving pasta.

What about a chicken and mushroom pie or a stir fry.

Take all the meat off the bones, make a stock and do a chicken risotto or soup with that stock and some of the meat.
Apart fom that, chicken and stuffing sandwiches are always the way to go in this house. |

How about this...
Chicken & Spinich Stuffed Cannelloni in a Sweet Pepper Sauce 75g Cream Cheese 170g Cooked Chicken 90g Frozen Spinich 75g Mozarella 1/3 tsp Black Pepper 1 pack Tesco Fresh Lasagne Pasta Sheets Parmesan Cheese (Tesco do very small packets of this, ready grated) 1 Jar of Bertolli Chilli & Peppers Pasta Sauce Chop the chicken and Mozarella up into small chunks then mix in a bowl with the cream cheese, defrosted spinich and black pepper. Trim about 2cm off the side of each of the pasta sheets (only if you want to!) and then place 2 spoons (roughly) of the chicken mix onto each sheet and wrap up til the Pasta covers itself by about 3cm and then chop off excess pasta. Place in a buttered dish with the overlapping side down. When all sheets have been wrapped and placed in the dish, sprinkle with parmesan and then cover all the pasta with the sauce. Place in the oven on Gas Mark 4 (180 degrees) for 30 ish minutes or until heated thoroughly. (I done mine on Gas Mark 4 for 10 mins, then Gas Mark 6 for 15 mins!) It's delish

Another advocate of pie here - make up a cheap quick shortcrust pastry - strip the chicken then boil the carcass for stock, add some cornflour and seasoning to stock and simmer down, chuck in stripped chicken and various veg. Sprinkle some flour in your pie base before baking to get a crisp bottom. I have one of these in the oven right now - reckon it cost under £1 to make and will feed us for a couple of days, mmm delish.

How about Chicken and Pasta
![]() I'll second that. One of my fave comfort foods is chicken, pasta and peas in pesto. De-lish. |

Chicken Noodle Soup
Basically boil down the chicken add whatever veg you have to hand and then add noodles about 3 minutes before serving. Add that oriental flavour with some oyster sauce, soy sauce and parsley. |

Hi,
My personal choice would be chicken fajitas. Using cold chicken and warming it through after frying off the onions and peppers, then adding the chicken and making sure its heated through then add the spice mix. I keep a bag of ready cooked chiken breasts in the freezer so I can just pull one out, defrost it then I can have them whenever I want (especially as the OH doesnt like them!) Mandy |

Bean sprouts, noodles, spring onions, garlic and ginger, a little soy sauce, some oyster sauce, chopped up left over chicken, any veg that you have such as sweetcorn, mushrooms, plus some pak choi and what a lovely meal. We had it last night. Wonderful and a clean wok at the end of it!! As my dishwasher has given up the ghost, only the wok and the plates to wash - even more brilliant.
