What do you actually make with the leftovers from the famous MN roast chicken?

[LindorDoubleChoc]

We usually do a roast chicken for 4 or 5 people but this week it was only the two of us so we've got some cooked leftovers.

What's a nice tried and trusted dinner recipe using cooked chicken that you use? I'm not going to do a soup this time.

Tia.

Mostly chicken and gravy pie, but also chuck some into risotto or just make sandwiches for lunch the next day. Egg fried rice is another idea.

A chicken pie of some variety. Or a (massive) Caesar salad.

I either use in in a pie, chicken egg fried rice or chicken and mushroom risotto x

I make a cheat's chicken pie every time we roast a chicken and have leftovers.

Sauté some mushrooms in butter, make a white sauce, add chopped chicken; then roll out a couple of squares of puff pastry, bake until crispy, pop on top of sauce mix.

Soup

Risotto quite often. Or we just use it in a curry or stir fry. Sometimes I'll mix it with some peppers, beans, other veggies and spices for tacos or enchiladas. I quite often freeze it in small portions too so I can just defrost it and chuck it in when I need chicken for something. It's so much nicer than chopping up and frying raw chicken breast/thighs.

I do it in a pie with leeks, bacon and creme fraiche

Or

Stir fried rice/noodles

Sometimes put in wraps with salad and chilli sauce

Chicken pie.
Coronation chicken for stuffed pitta breads.
Cold with salad.

Some kind of chicken / egg fried rice or a curry like the Joe Wicks one is good.

Ooh, what's the famous mn roast chicken?

Classic recipe but so good, I make this all the time. Last night we had it as is with sun-dried tomato bread, but I also make it as a pasta bake or on top on rice!

It's a standing joke here that some people claim to make a chicken last most of the week, and others claim that there would be nothing left after one meal. Most of us are somewhere in the middle, I suspect.

I have a chicken that lasts 3 days usually.

Chicken stir fry with veg or a substantial chicken/avo/tomato etc salad (depending on weather)
Chicken and veg puff pastry pie.

When I could afford the gas, I made stock and then soup. Complete no-no now, far too expensive, sadly.

Fajitas / stir fry / salads / sandwiches / Thai curry or pad Thai.

Coronation chicken. We have it with jacket potatoes or naan bread.

Jambalaya
Curry
Stir fry

Monday chicken leftover dinner is my favourite of the week. In winter I make a chicken leek and mushroom pasta bake or add some to a risotto or a curry (this recipe is really good https://hellochef.me/recipes/easy-tray-bake-curried-chicken-with-roasted-cauliflower-and-potatoes-3822

In the summer I usually add it to a pasta salad

If there's any left I often use it in a "raw stir fry salad" - chuck shredded chicken, cooked noodles, rough grated carrots and chopped spring onions in a lunch box. At lunchtime toss with some light soy sauce and sesame seeds.

Carcass for stock (which gets used in risotto or soup).

Definitely Bubble and Squeak, with fried egg and Branston - if there is veg left over too.

Failing any veg then Chicken Curry.

Put it in a salad

Add to ramen noodles

Sandwiches

Any recipe that has chicken in it? Pasta, stir fry, risotto, paella, pies, fajitas, wraps, salad.

Braised chicken
Chicken curry
Chicken stir fry
Chicken pie
Sandwiches

Pie, salad, sandwiches, soup, stir fry. I always make stock as well. My chicken probably is the mythical mumsnet chicken 😂

Coronation Chicken is a hugely underrated classic, especially on a baked potato. Thanks for reminding me!

Chop in to fairly large slices the following:

Banana Shallots
Portobello Mushrooms
Fennel Bulbs
Lemons
Leftover Roast Potatoes
Leftover Roast Chicken

Fry it all in a bit of oil til cooked (onions first obviously and chicken and potatoes will need less time as already cooked). Season, squeeze a bit of lemon over. Serve in a bowl with crusty French stick and butter.

And definitely make stock from the bones.

depending on the quantities:
Pie
Curry
Risotto
Pilaff

And then boil the bones to make stock for soup.
