Chicken risotto, chicken and sweetcorn chowder, chicken, with courgette, onion and pesto add a dollop of crème fraiche and eat with pasta.
The possibilities are endless.

Chicken and mushroom/leek pie? Stir fried veg with leftover chicken? Chicken with pasta and pesto? Paella (add some prawns but perhaps not chorizo if you don’t like spicy and some lobster bisque)? A very mild curry such as korma perhaps with either your own sauce or one from a jar, add veg of choice?

I make decent cakes but not much good at using leftover stuff. Until months ago I got a couple of meals out of a leftover chicken until I realised what I was wasting so found a recipe for chicken soup. It turned out to be so easy, delicious and so easy to freeze. I have bought one for this Sunday and need to find something other than soup like a pasta bake or something like that. I don't like spicy stuff and as my shopping order is due tomorrow and I would like to know what good sauces and pasta I could use. Any recipe ideas would be most welcome. Thankyou.
