Leftover Chicken Recipes

Having leftover chicken in the refrigerator or freezer is one of the best cooking shortcuts because it's so easy to repurpose it into an entirely different meal.

Any kind of leftover chicken will work well in any of these recipes. Or, make leftover chicken a part of the week's meal plan by roasting a couple of chickens, or following this super quick method for poached chicken.

Hello! I'm Rebecca Blackwell, a writer, recipe developer, and food photographer. My husband and I are nomads without a home base but with many modes of transportation, namely an RV, a motorcycle, and a sailboat.

While I have cooked professionally, I am a home cook and baker who writes recipes for other home cooks and bakers. My home happens to have wheels, and occasionally sails, which should tell you that if the recipes work in my tiny kitchen, they will certainly work in yours.
