Cooked chicken
 

I'm looking for a simple and Delicious recipe using cooked chicken. I put a couple of breasts in the crock pot and used one for BBQ chicken. So now I have one breast left over. It's for two people.
Thanks, Lynn

How about a salad? Greens,chopped Apple,walnuts,with a citrus vinaigrette?

Oh, that sounds good. I will have to try that. Thanks

My husband likes fajitas. We get the various peppers (red, yellow, and green), an onion and use the packaged seasoning. My husband prefers the pre-cooked chicken so there is no doubt that is cooked thru, start with cooking the vegetables, and add the chicken then cook about 3-5 minutes longer so the seasoning cooks into the chicken.

I don't have a recipe for you, but a question. What brand or kind of fajita seasoning do you use? I'd like to try it! Thanks!

It's good in quesadillas too. Or I've used it in mexican lasagna - layer tortillas, salsa, chicken, cheese, refried beans and bake like lasagna.

Thanks everyone....now I'm hungry. Lots of good ideas here. Lynn

I read a recipe a bit ago that was pretty decent. It's a variant of chicken cordon bleu. Chunk up the cooked chicken, layer with deli-sliced swiss cheese; deli-sliced ham. I forget what bit of liquid, bread crumbs over the top and bake in the oven for maybe 30 minutes to melt all the cheese and thicken the liquid. I'm sure if you google chicken cordon bleu casserole, you'll find something.

That sounds good NJ Quilter. Thanks for the idea.

To e the best chicken salad this time of year includes strawberries, candied pecans, and a sweet vinagrette dressing. Emerald brand candies pecans in a bag - usually found in the salad toppings section of the produce aisle - and Marzetti's Simply Dressed Strawberry Poppyseed Dressing are what I use. Divine!

Link for the chicken cordon bleu casserole http://chicken cordon bleu casserole . I prefer to add the cheese to the sauce before I pour it into the casserole. Crushed Ritz crackers (no butter added) onto works very well instead of the panko bread crumbs.

Quesidilla. With pepper jack cheese. Or saute baby spinach in fresh garlic and butter. When the spinach has wilted down, just put. Between two tortillas. If you don't have a quesidilla maker. ( love mine!) just use a griddle. Yum!

Chicken quiche, chicken pot pie, chicken salad, ooh the possibilities. I like to cook up a bunch of chicken in my Romertoff and then freeze what I don't need for future quick meals.

That sounds good Iclang. I'm going to have to start freezing some cooked meats to make dinner "easier".

You could make gravy and do chicken and biscuits. If you do not have the drippings you could use a gravy mix. If you prefer rice you could put it over that.

That also sounds good red warrior. Thank you. Anything that has gravy and biscuits is wonderful.

We use them a lot in salads. Really good. Also the fajitas sound really good

I've taken chicken and reheated for breakfast. Diced it up, reheat then throw scrambled eggs on top. Turned it into an omelet.

I vacuum seal and freeze leftover cooked meats.

I always cook extra chicken breasts so we can have "Sausalito Sandwiches", a recipe I made up from some sandwiches we had in Sausalito. Cut a ciabatta roll in half. Butter with garlic butter. Grill or broil the bun. Put mayonnaise, roasted red pepper and sliced chicken on the bread. That's it.

sounds wonderful!

Never thought of chicken for breakfast but I will try it. Thanks

Oh, two of my favorite things....pecans and strawberries....yummm

I make a stirfry with cooked chicken. Some sliced potatoes, onions, & whatever vegetables I have on hand. Sometimes I throw in diced tomatoes & sometimes a bottled sauce.

Make a sandwich spread or just a chicken sandwich with mayo and lettuce along with sliced chicken on bread.

Me too!!! That's the only way I eat salads!!! Good taste Jan....
Cracker barrel has a summer only spinach (I have them use romaine on mine)salad with pecans and strawberries and a strawberry vinaigrette dressing...yum

How about Chicken Pot Pie? Buy the pie Shells ready made. 1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup. Frozen Veggies--your choice.
Line the pan with the pie shell. Mix the Cr. Chicken Soup, Frozen Veggies, 1-2 potatoes--your choice how much potato you want. Salt and Pepper.
Top with the other pie shell, slits cut in top for vent. Bake 375--45-60 min. Delicious, quick and easy and economical!! Enjoy!! Mariah

I but the Knorr's dinner, Dollar pkg's, with rice or noodles. I cube chicken in then...... I have to admit Jan's Salad sounds AMAZING!!!

Thanks for the info luv-e. I'll check out the Knorr's.

I would make a small recipe of Chicken Alfredo Fettuccini (or other pasta). One breast should be plenty for 2 people. You can Google for Alfredo sauce if you don't have a fave recipe.

Thank you GrammieJan. I'm hungry already.

There's two of us so most of what I make is either two servings or four.

This is a casserole I often make from cooked leftover chicken.

Mix together and put in a casserole:
Chop up 1 chicken breast
Add 1 cup bread stuffing...I use the box kind and it doesn't seem to matter what seasonings it is
Finely chop 1/4 cup onion
Finely chop 1/4 celery
1/2 cup shredded cheese ( I like cheddar, but swiss is good too, or any kind you like)
Add enough mayonaise to moisten...I use the Low Fat 15 calories/tablespoon kind

Bake at 350 degrees until hot, usually about 20-30 minutes. Good reheated. Can also be served cold.

Hi Pennyhal, I think I'll try this tonight. Unless I can get "hubby" to take me out...hahaha Thanks

I like to heat up a jar of Paul Newman's Sockarooni (?) or the marinara spaghetti sauce and pour it over the cooked breast. Sometimes I chop the chicken and add it to the sauce. Eat over any kind of pasta or over a baked potato.

Hi GailG, I've never heard of the Sockarooni but will be on the look out for it. Today is grocery shopping day. That sounds good. I'll try it and let you know how I liked it. Thanks for the info. Lynn
