The perfect way to use up roast chicken leftover. Make a simple dressing and add crunchy vegetables to turn slices of chicken into salad.
Do you sometimes accidentally buy a big chicken, roast it, serve and wonder what can you do with the leftovers?
Don’t we all do that?
I hear you make soups or sandwiches and those bones would go in a big pot to boil for stock.
But sometimes you want more than soups and sandwiches.
Some days do you buy a big birds like turkey too?
We intentionally buy more at times and save slices for other dishes.
Buy a chicken and cut it up for different recipes like stir fries, teriyaki, chicken Milanese, chicken adobo or curry and more to not only spice up the menu but also this way saves a lot of money.
This recipe guarantees to wake up your senses when mixed with leftover meats not only chicken but also turkey and steak.
I am sure you have your go-to recipes for leftover protein.
