I'd prefer to stretch it into two meals or more, but I am interested in any and all ideas. Thanks!

Here's one we loved recently...the pickled red onion is to die for with it...I used Herdez brand salsa verde instead of making my own: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/238505 Tue Nov 13 06:37:24 -0800 2007 3120099 11983 Val 2 3122889 Green or Red Chile Chicken Chilaquiles Tue Nov 13 18:22:20 -0800 2007 3120122 13876 ickster 1 3120161 Chicken noodle soup...white chicken chili...quesadillas...chicken salad... Oooh, enchiladas!

Shredded chicken sandwich with cheese & tomatoes. Or you could just throw it on top of some salad or into a soup.

Tue Nov 13 07:22:02 -0800 2007 3120240 11104 dolores 3 3120540 I'm with dolores on the chicken pot pie. Instead of biscuits, I like to use puff pastry. You take a sheet, cut into rectangles, brush egg whites and bake. My favorite chicken pot pie recipe comes from the NY Times Magazine: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9404E2DB1530F93BA25752C0A9629C8B63 Tue Nov 13 08:33:59 -0800 2007 3120247 87737 pobo 4 3123304 I make chicken pot pie a lot with leftover chicken (chilaquiles, too). This time of year my favorite is made with leeks, some thyme, garlic, butternut squash and some chanterelles. I like this one topped with puff pastry. In summer I'll sub in SW flavors and vegetables (summer squash, corn, onions) and top with cornmeal biscuits -- you can steam these right on top in a Dutch oven or put the whole thing in the oven for a more traditional biscuit.

Served over rice; noodles are good as well. My coworkers seemed to like it. Could always add to pasta carbonara. Tue Nov 13 07:35:31 -0800 2007 3120099 137960 link_930 1 3120473 My co-worker gave me this simple, delicious chicken salad recipe. To shredded chicken add mayo and chopped green olives (with pimentos). Add pepper to taste (salt if you feel it needs it). Spread on crackers or make a sandwich with tomato, lettuce, onion and avocado and you are good to go. Great party food - serve with crackers. Simple and delicious!! Tue Nov 13 08:21:52 -0800 2007 3120099 12400 WildSwede 1 3122440 I would make chicken salad or chicken cashew chili (recipe links below) For chicken salad, I find that it tastes oodles better when I make my own mayo from scratch, and I always use fresh herbs. Celery adds crunch and makes it stretch into an extra portion or two -- you might add grapes or nuts, too. I added links to two that I make often, and they are always highly praised. I was never wild about chili -- before trying the recipe below. The ground cashews and chocolate add layers of mystery to it, and the flavors are rich and surprising. Of course, I top mine with goodies like sour cream, shredded cheese, and lots of snipped cilantro.

Two really different flavors. Tue Nov 13 16:47:53 -0800 2007 3120099 28006 Jennalynn 1 3122694 Bon Bon Chicken on a bed of chinese egg noodles with cucumbers, bean sprouts and scallions. For the bon bon sauce 1/3-cup sesame paste* ¼-cup oil 3 T soy sauce 3 T vinegar 2 T sugar 3 T hot water 1 T sesame oil 2 cloves garlic 1 T chili oil 3-4 scallions 1 t dried chili peppers, broken up In the jar of a blender, put the garlic and scallions. Blend until minced. Add remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Taste and adjust for seasoning. Be aware that the spiciness will increase somewhat. *Sesame paste is available in Asian grocery stores. It is different from tahini in that the sesame seeds are toasted so that it is darker in color. This sauce recipe will keep for a long time in the refrigerator. If it is too thick when you go to use it again just add a little hot water to thin it. Tue Nov 13 17:12:38 -0800 2007 3120099 11076 AGM_Cape_Cod 1 3122740 Ooohh - thanks all! Tonight we ended up making tostadas with refrieds, cheddar, and I heated up the chicken with some butter and adobo, and then we topped the whole thing with flavored sour cream, avocado, nopalitos, tomatos and black olives. Even my picky kids devoured them. Tomorrow I'm going to try one of the recipes from this thread, and I am going to have to try the chicken cashew chili at some point no matter what - I'm intrigued. Thanks all! Lucy Tue Nov 13 17:27:16 -0800 2007 3120099 136184 MarbleFallsParadise 1 3122959 Barbecue chicken pizza.
