Leftover grilled chicken?

Chicken Fajitas

Ingredients

Juice of 1 or 2 limes

2 tsp Canola oil

1 tsp Ground red pepper or chili powder

8 oz Boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips

1 Med. red onion, sliced

1 Red or green bell pepper, seeded and sliced

1 clove Garlic, minced

Preparation

In a shallow dish, combine lime juice, 1 tsp oil, and red pepper or chili powder. Add chicken breast strips and toss to coat. Set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.

Heat remaining 1 tsp oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers and saute for about 8 minutes, until they soften. Add garlic and cook 1 minute.

Increase the heat to high. Add chicken strips and saute until the chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes.

Top with cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or whatever you like.

Make this sauce

1 pint of Heavy Cream

1 stick of butter

2 Tbsp. Cream Cheese

1/2 - 3/4 C. Parmesan cheese

1 tsp. Garlic powder

In a saucepan combine butter, heavy cream, and cream cheese. Simmer this until all is melted, and mixed well. Add the Parmesan cheese and Garlic powder. Simmer this for 15 - 20 minutes on low. You may wish to season with a little salt and pepper. I have done this with half and half, but we prefer the heavy cream. But I wouldn't try it with plain milk.

Add chopped up grilled chicken to sauce during the last 10 minutes. Serve over fettuccine, and have a salad and garlic bread,

A quick and easy favorite at our house is to cut up leftover grilled chicken and add it either red beans & rice or black beans & rice during the last 10 minutes of cooking. The leftover chicken absorbs the spices in the beans & rice and is so delicious that we'll grill extra chicken just to be sure we have plenty for freezing and using this way.

Leftover Grilled Chicken Curried Stir-Fry

(1 serving, can be doubled)

1 leftover grilled chicken breast (boneless, skinless)

about 1 cup leftover asparagus, cut in small pieces

about 1 cup red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, cut in 1 inch pieces

1/4 cup chicken stock

1/2 tsp. curry powder or paste (I used Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste)

1 tsp. cornstarch (or you can use arrowroot starch for less carbs)

1 - 1 1/2 T peanut oil (depending on your pan)

2 large garlic cloves, sliced

purchased cilantro chutney for serving (optional, but highly recommended)

Cut chicken breast into small pieces. Cut up bell pepper and asparagus. Mix chicken stock and curry paste. Heat in pan or microwave about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly, then wisk in cornstarch.

Heat wok or pan until very hot (about 2 minutes), add oil, heat 1 minute more, add garlic cloves and stir fry about 1 minute, then remove. (Be sure not to let the garlic brown or it will give the oil a bitter taste.) Add bell pepper and stir fry about 3 minutes, stirring constantly and cooking over very high heat, the wok should be almost smoking. Add asparagus (or other cooked vegetable of your choice) and cook 1-2 minutes. Add chicken and cook 1-2 minutes more.

Reduce heat to medium and add sauce mixture. Stir fry about 3 minutes, until sauce is slightly thickened and vegetables and chicken are well coated with sauce. Serve hot, with cilantro chutney if desired.

This tasted fabulous. The flavor of the curry blended with the flavor of the chicken and veggies making the sum greater than the parts. For sure I would cook this again, any time I had leftover grilled chickken and some veggies on hand.

Sour Creme Chicken Enchiladas

Mix shredded chicken and sour creme, roll in moist red corn tortillas, smother with green verde sauce and shredded cheddar...bake covered in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes, uncover and bake 5 minutes more until cheddar is slightly golden brown.

Oh, but try THIS chicken salad: It's totally different: cut the chicken in long slivers and toss with slivered (julienne) red, green & yellow bell peppers, slivered green onions, and chopped cilantro .... Toss with a balsamic vignarette dressing......
