About 2-3 times a month, I buy a rotisserie chicken from the
supermarket. After the meal, there is a lot of chicken left over. I
make sandwiches with it, but would like a little variety.

Can anyone suggest a good recipe to use the leftover chicken in? I am
thinking about a simple casserole or a sauce to pour over rice or
noodles.

My mom used to make a sauce with leftover chicken and either Cream of
Chicken of Cream of Mushroom soup or both. I think she added butter,
too. It was very good, but probably not so healthy.

Any similar, but healthier, alternatives?

Thanks


Chunk it up for chicken salad: add low fat mayo, diced onions, celery,
apples, and grapes, serve on lettuce leaves.


Do you have a recipe? At least some general guidelines. I never seem
to do well just winging it.

Make soup: throw the entire carcass and leftover meat in a pot, cover
with water, simmer (along with some onion, celery, and carrots) until
meat is falling off the bone. Discard bones. Adjust flavor of broth, add
more vegies, rice, or noodles.


What a great idea -- especially now that winter is coming. Again, do
you have a recipe? I would have no idea how much water or anything
else.

Make a stir fry: Stir fry vegies, throw the leftover chicken meat in,
add your sauce, eat.
