melissel Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Our chickens are kind of small, so there's usually not quite enough meat on them for a second meal where the chicken is the star. Typically, I would boil the chicken carcass until I could strip the meat off easily but before it lost all its flavor, then go on to make stock with the bones. I had a few things I was making with that leftover chicken meat, but it turns out that heated dairy products have a, shall we say, negative effect on both DH's and my digestive systems :001_huh: So those recipes, although amazingly delish, are now out. What else can I do with those bits of leftover chicken? What is your typical process for getting a few meals out of a roasted chicken? TIA!

Slartibartfast Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I usually make chicken salad or chicken tacos before making stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Stage 1: Roast Chicken Stage 2: Chicken burritos or Chicken fried rice or Chicken stir fry Stage 3: Chicken stock Sometimes we'll drop the roast chicken carcass into the chicken run and let them feast... The hens do love their protein! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmama Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 What about - pasta with chicken and veggies - add a can of black beans and some cumin and make enchiladas or tacos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalanamak Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Chicken salad sandwich. Minestrone can do with a bit of shredded chicken in it. So can chili, although turkey is more famous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trish Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 One of my family's favorites is to heat the bite-sized pieces of meat in chicken gravy on the stove. Then I cook up some flat pasta noodles (ribbons, or those no yolk things), and pour the gravy w/chicken over it. I sometimes like this better than the original meal!

KatieJ Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Fry it up in a skillet with onions, potatoes and carrots. I call it hash. Serve it with applesauce and maybe bread if you are not counting carbs. Otherwise maybe a green vegetable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
