What do I do with leftover chicken?

Question

I roasted a chicken and don't know what to do with the leftover chicken that my 2 year old will eat.

Answer 1

My son (18 months) would just eat it cut into little pieces...if your little one won't you could try mixing it into some mac and cheese or put it into some mashed potatoes.

You could also make a casserole with the leftover chicken and try to get the little one to eat the casserole...

Answer 2

Kids love to eat with their fingers so try this.
Chicken Salad.
Take a shell of lettuce. (preferably Iceberg)
Add some shredded chicken
Asparagus spears, grated cheese and carrot and roll it into a sausage.

Add some Kiwifruit peeled and cut into wedges, also a tomato and egg cut the same way

You will have a nice colourful plate of nice food

Try making a flan with shredded chicken veges and eggs.

Cheese roll.
Take some fresh white bread, and butter, add some shredded chicken down the centre third. Fold the out side over, one on top of the other. Press flat and place under the grill to toast both sides. Spread some butter on the top and serve hot.

You could also use a sandwich press if you have one

Substitute chicken with cheese or mince.

They make a wonder full snack food for adults also and are peculiar to the South Island of New Zealand and I am looking forward to see if you get a similar suggestion from elsewhere in the world

Answer 3

I'm a mother of two an I bake chicken all the time. An when we have leftover I usally make chicken salad.

Answer 4

Mix it with a jar of alfredo sauce and serve over pasta, make chicken salad, with grapes and apples, celery and some low fat mayo. Chop it up and put it on a frozen cheese pizza with some extra cheese. Make noodle soup. Or mix it up with some egg noodles undilluted cream of mushroom soup, or cream of chicken soup, maybe some veggies that they will eat, put it in a cassarole dish and crumble some chips on top and bake to eat thru. You can even do this with the box mac and cheese.
Hope this helps.

Answer 5

I often make homemade chicken pot pies. I use 1 bag of frozen peas and carrots. 1 small finely diced onion. 1 can of cream of chicken soup. Throw in a pie dish with premade pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. The kids love it.

1/2 cup mayo
1/4 cup onion
1 can peas
2 cans of tuna

Just mix everything together, top with cheese and bake for about 25-30 minutes at 350 Degrees. I usually add whatever spices sound good at the moment, and occasionally add a small can of mushrooms also.

Answer 9

There's plenty of things you can do with it.
* Chicken Tacos. Add some tomato sauce to chopped up chicken (instead of meat). My son likes it.
* Chicken Stir fry (mix chopped chicken, veggies, rice, and egg)
* Spagetti Bolagnesa (shredded chicken on noodles with lots of spagetti sauce also add sauteed onions and carrots to the mix)
* Chicken sandwiches
* Chop in up and reheat with soysauce and serve with rice or mashed potatoes.
* Heat with bar-b-que sauce and serve on a roll.
