    Default How many ways can you think of to use leftover chicken?

    My favorite way to use leftover chicken is in chicken fajitas, but there are so many other possibilities. How many ways can you think of to use leftover chicken?

    I used the chicken itself for sandwiches or chicken salad or my favorite soup.

    I put the carcus in a pot with a bay leaf, some carrot and celery ends from the freezer with some pepper corns, salt and pepper and simmer until the bones fall apart. I then strain and add cooked chicken to the stock. Sometimes I will thicken with equal parts flour and margarine and sometimes I will add pasta.

    usually we just put it on a plate and reheat it as a lunch or snack.

    11% gross to retirement
    10% takehome to tithe and offerings
    emergency fund maintained at 3000(works for me)
    credit card debt 7500
    mortgage free
    freedom accounts/sinking funds that ebb and flow
    then live on the rest!

    i am trying something new. LDS church advises savings or debt repayment should be the same as the tithe. 10% each.
