Please help with meal plans

I just put a 4.5 lb roast and 2.5 lbs of chicken breasts in the oven to bake. I would like to get 4-5 meals out of these. We will probably have part of the roast with vegetables for dinner tonight, but I'd like to come up with some new ways of using the rest of the meat.

 

Ideas?

For the roast leftovers:

 

Shepard's Pie (save some gravy from the roast tonight)

Broccoli beef with rice

Vegetable beef stew with lentils

 

For the chicken:

 

Pasta salad

Chicken fried rice

Tacos

Thai street noodles

Chicken: Add it to pasta sauce. I like this: Start by cutting up 1/2 LBS mushrooms and finely chop 1 onion and 2 garlic cloves. Heat up a pan and saute mushrooms, onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons olive oil until the mushroom starts to golden and the onion is soft.

Add 1/2 cup chicken stock, 1 1/2 cup cream and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill.
Let it simmer for 5 minutes and season with salt and pepper. Add to spagetti or other pasta.

 

Here's another I LOVE--http://www.alexandracooks.com/2013/02/18/pasta-with-chicken-lemon-white-wine-a-meal-to-take-to-a-friend/

 

Chicken tacos.

 

Chicken soup. 

 

Roast: You could shred some of the beef and make sandwiches (add bbq maybe), or cook stew veggies and just add the precooked meat at the last minute. ETA oops--didn't read carefully--you are already doing veggies. Maybe a different kind?

Maybe "sneef and boodles?" (Beef and noodles...lol) Beef pot pie, if you sautee the veggies first so they are basically cooked, and just put the beef and veggies in a crust.

French Dip?

This just made me hungry.  Mmmmmmmm....

For the chicken, take about 1# and finely dice. Then make a stir fry with onions, the chicken, 2 cups precooked rice, some soy sauce, and a can of corn, oh and 1 egg scrambled. Serve this over baby spinach. It sounds weird but my family loves it even though they don't usually do spinach, etc.

Y'all are making me really hungry and that roast is smelling really good...

 

Thanks for the ideas!
