What 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 (24)Seagrass, I looked at a bunch of methods I found on the Web and picked the simplest one. Lots of recipes call for adding onions or apples to the fat, but I wanted to try it first without adding another flavor, so mine is just fat and nothing else. All you do is collect the fat trimmings each time you make chicken and save them in the freezer till you have at least a couple of cups' worth. If you remove the skin before you cook chicken, you can add cut-up pieces of that as well. Then just put it all in a heavy skillet over low to medium heat and let it melt slowly, watching so it doesn't burn. Some recipes said to add water to the skillet, but I didn't. As the fat liquefies, you can pour it off into a container. Eventually all that will be left are the pieces of skin, which you can cook till they get brown and curly. Then, if you're suicidal, you can eat those. They're called "gribenes" in Yiddish, and they're as delicious as they are lethal. The melted fat gets poured through a very fine sieve, or even a coffee filter if you're compulsive (I was). I have almost all the schmaltz I made that first and only time still in my freezer. I'm not sure how long it's supposed to keep, but it seems fine, and that was quite a while ago. I guess I could make more if I needed it. It's not something we use a lot of, but it's comforting to know I have some if there's ever a national schmaltz emergency....See MoreWhat is Your Favorite Way to Eat Chicken?
Comments (26)I love fried chicken, and I am surprised that so few restaurants serve it any more. One of our favorite family restaurants when I was a kid was Murphy's Original Restaurant, and they served family style fried chicken and corn fritters. YUM!!! Love KFC too. Also love honey mustard chicken....See MoreWhat's your favorite way to use cooked/leftover chicken?
Comments (21)I make several of the things listed here, but I also make the following: Chicken & black bean burritos: Preheat oven to 350°. Mix together: - 1 c. cooked chicken, pulled apart - 1 can black beans, drained - 1 c. sweet corn (I use frozen) - canned salsa to moisten everything - about 1/2 t. cumin and 1 t. chili powder Lay out six flour tortillas, and split the chicken/bean mixture equally among them, laying it in a stripe down the middle of each tortilla. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the chicken/bean mixture, then roll up and put side-by-side on a cookie sheet. Spread some more salsa and shredded cheese on the tops of the burritos, then bake for about 30 minutes, until hot. My other use for cooked chicken is stir-fry: Cut up about 1 cup chicken in cubes or smallish pieces. Then cut up whatever vegetables you have on hand, raw or cooked, into approximately even-sized pieces. I always use an onion to start, and will often use carrot, celery, broccoli, sweet red peppers, zucchini, whatever. Heat a wok or big frypan over high heat, and add about 2 T. oil. While this is heating, mix up a simple sauce of about 1/2 c. cold water, 1 heaping T. cornstarch, and some ground ginger and soy sauce. I mix it in a Tupperware container with a tight-fitting top so I can shake the mixture. Now, when the oil is hot, start adding vegetables. Start with the onions, cook until soft but not done, then begin adding other vegetables. Add the ones that need to cook longer first, and the ones that don't take long later. Add the chicken near the end, as you just have to heat it. Keep everything moving, using a spoon or spatula. When everything is cooked, turn down the heat to medium-low and add the sauce mixture. Cook for a minute or two, until it's hot and thickened. Serve over rice....See More- 5 years ago
