Leftover chicken

[saffire]

Got half a chicken in the fridge, what can I do with it?
Recently done a paella and a chicken pie, want some inspiration! Running out of ideas that will please a 10 year old and a 70 year old!

Fajitas, burritos, rissoto, club sandwich, warm salad, chicken noodle soup, casserole, broth, put it on pizza

Lots of ideas here, if you can get past the OP bashing.

Today I had leftover chicken with tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil with pasta

Sheet of ready rolled puff pastry, smear with pesto, add basil, sun dried tomatoes some Parmesan and chicken and bake for 20 mins.

I copied this recipe from the AIBU thread mentioned above. I don't want to revive it, so am saying to @Mrsbadger77 here instead that I made this tonight (slightly adapted) and it was very good. I used carrots, red and yellow peppers, onions, spring onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic, ginger, chillis, cooked chicken, soy sauce, brown rice. Didn't do the egg part. Will do again!

My made up chicken fried rice recipe

Fry up chopped carrots, peppers, spring onions (+ other random veg that needs using up) with a bit of ginger and garlic. Then add the pre-cooked and cooled rice stir fry for a good while with some soy sauce and a bit of sesame oil.
Then make a little well in your wok and scramble a couple of eggs. When they're cooked mix through the rice. Chuck in some frozen peas and your left over chicken I usually chop into small pieces. Keep stir frying until your arm gets sore and both chicken and rice are piping hot. Season to taste with more soy sauce. You could add chilli too.
