ok roasted a chicken ........ now what shall I do with it???????

[LoveBeingAMummy]

Most of the meat will be used for sarnies for the next couple of days but what else can I do????

Did think about soup but ahve no idea what to do help!!!????

What about the bones aren't you meant to put them in?

Risotto

OR

Much easier - Pilaf:

Fry an onion, streaky bacon and a handful of sliced mushrooms (gently)

Stir in about 6-7oz of rice (long grain, white or brown)

Add about 500ml chicken stock and a bay leaf if you can be arsed

5 mins before rice cooked chuck in the chicken chunks and a good handful frozen peas.

Tasty, healthy, cheap and resourceful.

Make chicken stock with bones! Freeze. Use for soup, risotto, etc.

last night I did creamy chicken pasta with some leftovers.

I fried mushrooms, made cheese sauce, with some herbs and bit of mustard and seasoning, added huge handful of spinach plus thin strips of roast chicken (like peeled bits) and served with fetticine.

Would also have tasted yum with some double cream and white wine instead of the white sauce, but not as healthy!

Fry onions until caramelised, add red peppers then chicken strips/chunks, stir in Lloyd Grossman curry sauce, serve with rice, peas, spinach and a chapatti.

Fry small diced onions, fry then add any other veg such as courgettes, carrots, peppers (not too much), and chicken, add risotto rice and some white wine/stock, fry, adding a little stock at a time until rice is cooked, add peas near the end, lovely risotto - mix parmesan cheese in at the end.

Gnaw it off the bones like a caveman

believe me madamecheese i could have, love chicken straight out of the oven can't help picking

thanks everyone
