When I have a lot of fried chicken left over, I peel it off the bones into bite-sized "shreds" and put it in zip lock bags and freeze it for later use. That way it doesn't go bad and I can use it for hot dishes, salads, soups, etc.

The salad I like best made with the chicken shreds is a bed of salad fixings (lettuce, radishes, celery, carrots), top with (now this is per serving so you put the salad fixings in a bowl you will use to serve an indivudual). Anyway, top with half an apple, cored and chunked - don't peel unless you want to. Sprinkle some cranraisins on top, then put your chicken on top of that. Put some toasted walnuts or pecans (halves) on top of that, toasted sunflower seeds on top of that, toasted pine nuts on top of that and some crumbled Feta cheese on top. Serve with a custard dish of Raspberry Vinaigrette (so they can put on however much they want. I had this in a snazzy restaurant (they charged something like $12 for the salad alone!!). Very good. I've been making it ever since.

You can put the chicken in at the end of making a soup - all you'll have to do is heat the chicken since it's already cooked.

I received a nice recipe for a Chicken Enchilada Casserole that has a white cream sauce with it instead of the green or red sauce. I use my leftover chicken in that.

My granddaughters love chicken sandwiches. One loves it just as pieces on bread with a little mayo, mustard, lettuce and a slice of tomato. The other likes it chopped up with onions, pecans, cranraisins and mayo with a little curry added on the bread.

CHICKEN PIE

1 (2 1/2 - 3 lb.) chicken, cooked and boned (great way to use leftovers from whole, baked chicken)
1 can celery soup (cream of mushroom, cream of chicken, or whatever you want to use)
1 can peas and carrots (drained) (I used a bag of frozen green beans, peas, carrots and corn. Use whatever vegetables you want.)
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 stick butter
1 c. chicken broth (or chicken bouillon mixed with water)
1 1/2 c. Bisquick
1 1/2 c. milk

Mix soup with chicken broth and spread over chicken. Sprinkle drained vegetables over the soup.

Cut butter into small pieces and dot casserole.

Answer 8

I'd eat all 6 pieces cold, when I got home from work, but if you wanna get crafty, why not peel the meat off fhe bone, shred it up a little, throw it in a skillit with 2 packets of goya sazon seasoning, just heat it up, make tacos with the meat.
You can make enchaladas also, just lay tortilla on frying pan, get hot, top with chicken, mexican cheese, and some chunky slasa, cover and flip over to heat the other tortilla. Mmm

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU7Ml

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Chunky chicken salad. That's what I'm doing for dinner tonight. Pull meat off bones, cut up and toss with minced onion, celery, mayo., salt, pepper and as an option, curry powder. Serve on chopped lettuce, pickles and olives on the side.
