Day old chicken?
Comments (6)To me, it just tastes stale. Like the fat in the meat (especially rotisserie chickens) congeals and just tastes nasty. I always store my leftovers in freezer bags in the fridge, and whatever DH doesn't eat for lunch goes into enchiladas or something else with strong seasoning....See MoreWhat is your favorite use for left over cooked chicken?
Comments (26)this is one of my favs that I use with leftover or grilled chicken from the store - more of a warm weather meal. From The Splendid Table Almond Chutney Chicken in Lettuce Roll-Ups Ingredients: Chicken Salad: One 3-pound roasted chicken(take-out works here) 1 medium red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice Grated zest of 1 large lemon Juice of 3 large lemons, or more to taste 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced, or hot sauce to taste 9-ounce jar Major Grey Chutney, cut into bite-size pieces if necessary 1/2 cup mayonnaise Salt and fresh-ground black pepper to taste 3 large stalks celery, cut into 1/4-inch dice 1 cup whole salted almonds, coarse chopped Lettuce Cups and Herbs: 1 large head Bibb lettuce, leaves separated, washed and dried 1 large bunch fresh basil, washed and dried 1 large bunch fresh coriander, washed and dried 8 radishes, thin sliced 1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and sliced into thin rounds or 2-inch sticks Method: Pull the meat from the chicken carcass, discarding the skin and bones. Cut it into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl combine the onions, lemon zest and juice, jalapeno, chutney, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Fold in the chicken. Taste the mix for lemon, mayonnaise, and herbs, adding more as needed. Let it stand 20 minutes to blend flavors, or refrigerate overnight. To serve, blend the celery and nuts into the chicken mixture. Mound the salad at one side of a big platter. Pile up the lettuce leaves at the other side, and cluster sprigs of herbs in the center. Tuck the radishes and cucumbers next to the herbs. Put a few herb leaves in the bottom of a lettuce "cup," top them with a spoonful of the salad, a slice each of radish and cucumber, and roll up.

Comments (11)Karen: According to what parts are left over and amount. If there are a lot of Breast Pieces. They can still be breaded ( seasoned )for cutlets. I've done this with leftover Turkey Breast pieces that were boiled for Turkey salad. No !!! the flavor of the turkey wasn't boiled out. Chicken Wings, Thighs and Legs can be made into a Cacciatore but Simmer all the vegetables first and add the Chicken for about 10 minutes. I add a spoon of Chicken Soup Base for flavor. Or you could make a Chicken Salad. If you want any help , just ask. LOU...See More3-day old pie crust: Use or start over?
Comments (4)another who says go ahead....but to be sure it doesn't taste "off" I would pinch off about 2 teaspoons of the dough, flatten it, bake it and taste....you can bake it in the micro....it won't brown but will cook and give you the taste. Linda c...See Moreann_t
