I need chicken help

morgan27 · 09-30-2008, 09:54 AM

I made a whole chicken in the crock pot yesterday and we had it for dinner but there is a TON left. E is not a fan of left overs so I need to do something creative with this so that he wont really know what it is.

It was so tender that it fell right off the bone so I took all the meat out and its in smallish peices - sort of shredded.

Any ideas?

I did make chicken salad out of some for lunch today. Oh and after I took all the meat off I strained everything that was left in the pot and have super yummy stock to use for something else.

I love this chicken tortilla soup:

I think you could cook it less than 8 hours since your chicken is already cooked.

Or, you could make Chicken & Noodles...buy some Reames frozen egg noodles, chop up some celery, carrots, and onion, boil those for a while in chicken stock then add the chicken and noodles and cook for as long as the noodle package says. YUMMY and hearty. We serve ours over mashed potatoes.

Yum! I love tortilla soup but haven't found a recipe I like to make at home. I'm going to give this one a try.

Those both look really good - unfortunately E wont eat soup or casseroles.

I guess I should have mentioned that - he is harder to feed than a toddler!

But you can eat it! I bought a ton of single-serve pyrex bowls with lids so that we could freeze single portions of leftovers and soups. It is great for lunches or dinner if just one of us is home.

Chicken enchiladas - not casserole style, chicken taquitos, chicken tacos.

You are so smart! And this is why I need you ladies! I should just make the tortilla soup since *I* love it and freeze it for my lunches. Brilliant!
