If you are still in need, here are a couple more that we love. The first one is Marilyn's recipe and really good! The second one calls for turkey but I sub chicken all the time, it's delish! The third is a chicken chili that I adapted from a number of other recipes. It's heartier than the others so would be a good main-dish soup.

If you'll Google "leftover chicken" (and put it in quotes), you'll get a ton of recipes. Some more suggestions for you: SOUR CREAM CHICKEN ENCHILADAS 2 Tblsp. olive or canola oil 1 cup finely chopped onion 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken 1/2 tsp. salt 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese 12 corn tortillas 1/2 cup shortening, oil or lard (optional) 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups chicken broth 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. white pepper 2 cups sour cream 1/2 cup (4 oz.) chopped green chiles 2 Tblsp. chopped cilantro Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. The Filling: Sauté the onion in the oil just until softened. Add the shredded chicken, sprinkle with the salt, and toss to combine. Set aside and allow to cool. Add the shredded Monterey Jack Cheese and mix thoroughly. The Tortillas: Soften the corn tortillas by one of the following methods: · Wrapping tightly in plastic wrap and microwaving for 40 seconds, · Wrapping tightly in aluminum foil and heating in the oven for 5 minutes, or · Heating the shortening, oil or lard in a skillet and, using tongs, dipping each tortilla for 15 seconds in the hot oil, letting the excess drip back into the skillet. Drain the softened tortillas on paper sacks as they are cooked. Place an equal amount of the chicken mixture on each of the 12 tortillas, roll them up and place them, seam side down, in the baking dish. The Sauce: Over medium heat in a saucepan, melt the butter, add the flour, and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon for a minute or so. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, and cook until mixture thickens and bubbles. Reduce the heat, or remove from the burner, and stir in the sour cream and green chiles. Do not allow sauce to boil, but gently heat through. Pour the sauce evenly over the tortillas in the dish, and bake for 30 minutes at 375°F. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve hot. Makes four servings of three enchiladas each. **Note: Of the three methods given for softening the tortillas, the heated oil method is by far the most satisfactory, from the standpoint of both taste and texture. Predictably, it is also more trouble (and more fattening) than the other two options, but you should be aware of the best way to prepare this dish. Source: Texascooking.com.

In a large bowl, combine cooked chicken, parsley, nutmeg, cheese, salt and pepper. Add onions and celery from skillet, and mix well. Avgolemono sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and add flour.

Add 1-1/2 cups sauce to the chicken mixture, mix well. Reserve remaining sauce - it will be used at serving, refrigerate. Phyllo Preparation: Brush one phyllo sheet with butter, layer second sheet on top and brush with butter. Spread 2 rounded Tblsp. of chicken filling at one end of sheets, 3 inches from end and 2 inches from each side. Fold phyllo up over filling, to form a roll. Fold side edges in to enclose. Roll up, jellyroll fashion, to end of phyllo sheet. Seal with butter; brush outside with butter. (Rolls can be frozen at this point) Makes approx. 24 rolls. Place rolls on baking sheet and bake at 400° F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden. Reheat reserved sauce and serve with rolls. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.

What you are describing sounds very similar to skorthalia, a Greek fresh garlic sauce. It has a thick texture, more like a dip and is traditionally made with potatoes. However, some cooks use bread instead. My dad & grandmother loved skorthalia with boiled beets, fried eggplant, or fried fish. I like it too even though it is strong. Freshly made is delicious, but by the next day the garlic taste is much stronger and almost too much. Skorthalia (Fresh Garlic Sauce) This sauce packs a garlicky punch! Bursting with flavor, this fresh spread perks up simple fried or boiled vegetables, and it also livens up fried fish. 6 to 8 cloves fresh garlic 1-teaspoon salt 1-cup mashed potatoes or fresh white breadcrumbs (moistened and squeezed dry) ½ cup olive oil ¼ cup lemon juice 2 tablespoons wine vinegar Mortar and Pestle: Clean and crush garlic with salt in a mortar. Add either the mashed potatoes or the breadcrumbs. Pound well until a smooth paste is obtained. Add olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar alternately in very small quantities, stirring the sauce with the pestle. Electric Mixer: Crush garlic with garlic press; mix potatoes or breadcrumbs with garlic and salt in bowl with electric mixer, adding olive oil with the lemon juice and vinegar very slowly until completely absorbed. Continue to beat until the sauce is stiff enough to hold its shape. Blender: In an electric blender, blend garlic, salt, lemon juice, and vinegar; add mashed potatoes or breadcrumbs. Add olive oil slowly. If mixture is too thick to blend, add one tablespoon of water at a time Serve with broiled or fried fish, fried eggplant or zucchini and with cooked beets and beet greens.

We have been making this recipe for years...got the original recipe right here on this forum...we ended up re naming it "Five Hour Chicken". My kids would come home from school and smell the aroma and say "Yipee Five Hour Chicken!" They now have moved into places of their own and make it themselves....we all triple the rub recipe and keep a jar on hand at all times...the rub works great on my BBQ Pork rib recipe as well!! Both are family favourites!!
