ideas using chicken BBQ plate leftovers?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Salad Recipe


I have four bbq chicken plates leftover. Each plates contains: half bbq chicken. mexican beans, spanish rice and potato salad w/2 pieces of bread and 1 whole,cooked jalepeno. Any ideas besides a chix mex rice soup? Maybe a recipe using my ingredients as some sort of filling??

Chicken/pesto Pasta

Saute brown onion and garlic in a frying pan
then add some chopped red capsicum saute.
remove from heat.
add a small jar of basil pesto and some pine nuts
cook and drain penne pasta/or spirals as directed on pack.
add pasta to the onion/basil mix
stir through then add a drained jar of pitted kalamatta olives and the cooked chicken cubed add some good olive oil if needed.

    Shred the chicken and heat it up in your favorite barbeque sauce to make barbeque chicken sandwiches. (Maybe dice up the jalapeno and add it to the chicken.) Serve with potato salad. Put all the rice and beans in separate plastic storage containers and serve at your next meal with enchiladas or tacos.

    i’d make a enchiladas (using the chicken, rice and beans) or quesadilla (using the chicken, jalapeno)
    the potato salad is pretty much stuck as potato salad unless it doesn’t have a mayonaise based dressing on it.

    chicken can be cut up & used in a stir fry, add veggies,
    over the spanish rice

    Potato salad you can add ham too & have for a sandwich.

    beans can be used in a soup or chili recipe.

    Top a plain cheese pizza with the bbq chicken (shredded/chopped) and the jalepenos chopped, plus some caramelized onions.

    I would just mix the rice and beans and eat them as a side dish, or as a meal with chopped cilantro and sour cream.

    The potato salad, again, I’d just eat it.
