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.

(48 sheets) 1 lb. unsalted butter, clarified Note: The original recipe calls for poaching bone-in chicken breasts in water with onions celery, bay leaf, parsley, salt and pepper. I cheat, and poach boneless breasts in chicken stock. Filling: In a skillet, melt butter and sauté onion until soft. Add celery and sauté until tender. 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 a little sauce to the beaten egg yolks and lemon juice, to temper, then stir the yolk mixture into the sauce. Simmer over low heat a few minutes, stirring constantly. 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.

this is one of my favs that I use with leftover or grilled chicken from the store - more of a warm weather meal.

Taste the mix for lemon, mayonnaise, and herbs, adding more as needed. Let it stand 20 minutes to blend flavors, or refrigerate overnight.

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.

I think we should all try Jasdip's breasts LOL!!! That is funny. But it does indeed sound delish. I do some thing similar generally I use Panko crumbs. You can always use one of those thin digital meat thermometers to check for doneness. My old one left a huge hole in the meat so I got a very thin one with a digital read out and it is much easier. I am pretty sure I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond on their wall of everything you may ever need for the kitchen. I love visiting that wall!

Whole chickens I buy: I don't wash it, and I don't wear gloves. But I am continually washing my hands before touching anything else. I remove the bag with gizzards etc. I remove the heart (one of my favorite pieces), the gizzard and the neck, and stuff the gizzard and heart into the cavity un-bagged, along with a half an onion. I remove any excess fat, but I leave the skin ON - crispy skin is so good. I season with whatever I decide to season with (it varies). The neck gets saved for stock, but I'm not fond of liver. I have cooked that for the cats. The chicken gets laid belly down on a roasting rack over a pan, and roasted at 350 F for as long as its size indicates. This gets the white meat more juicy than it would be normally. (In fact, I usually can't eat all the white meat - often the denser parts go to the cats...) If the lungs are still in there and attached, they're easily removed when dining. ### For one of my OWN chickens, that I dispatch in the back yard - I defeather, de-gut and then bring it inside, where I DO wash it. I save the usual organs (I actually am saving their livers up for a future pate), and the feet will go to stock as they accumulate. I've been saving the heads for a friend of a friend who hails from some region in Russia where I gather they are a delicacy. Gizzards and hearts get gathered together for a future meal, but as for that bird itself: As noted, I do wash it, and then I prep it the same way if I decide to keep it whole. Only difference is that I lower the oven temperature to 325 F and I don't stuff it with anything, except maybe some spices or lemon juice. Yes, it stays in the oven longer.
