WHAT TO DO WITH LEFT OVER CHICKEN.

WHAT TO DO WITH LEFT OVER CHICKEN

Let say you cooked a bunch of chicken up, fried, baked, grilled, soup or your out in the wild with a wild look in your eye and you feel ferral by a open fire pit.   And you suddenly realize you've cooked too much or not all the food was eaten by your clan.   Ok now what?    What I would suggest is to use it in your next meal, that is the opptimal thing to do.  Shread off all the chicken from the bone and (KEEP THE BONES) for stock.  My suggestion if your not going to use the meat right away and want to freeze it, freeze it in broth. This way when you thaw it out it won't have that lovely freezer taste.  
NOTE: If your pulling frozen chicken in broth from the freezer and thawing it out in a pan on Medium low with the lid on.  Strain the broth and refreeze it for another meal or soup.   

Ok on with the show.   You can shread, dice or chop your chicken anyway you want it.

You can use this for Fajitas, Tacos, Salad topping, Quesadillas or Soup.   Or do you have a new idea that I haven't thought of.   

Now I understand that every one has different taste buds so adjust these recipes to your liking.
And also adjust to how much chicken you are using.  :)

HERE ARE SOME IDEAS.

1.  4 peeled garlic cloves
     1/2 of a Pablano
     1/2 lime juice.
     1 Tablespoon Toasted Sesame seed oil or olive oil.

Get a pan or small pot add oil and squeeze lime all the way.   Next use a very fine grater or a nutmeg grater and grate the garlic and the pablano the best you can.  Or chop the pablano very fine.
Next turn the bruner to med high and when the mixture begins to lightly bubble around the edges add the chicken and turn to med low and stir.  The point is not to cook the chicken rather warm it and coat it in flavor.    

2.  1 inch of Ginger 
     1 clove garlic
     1 Tablespoon of honey
     1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
     1 Tablespoon of Rice vingar.

Grate the Ginger and garlic and pour in the vingar and honey with the cinnamon.   Mix on medium high until you see light bubbles and add chicken.  Same method as above.

3. 1 inch of Ginger
    1 Jalopeno
    3 cloves of garlic
    Hand full of minced Cilantro
    1/2 Tablespoon  Toasted Sesame seed oil
    1/2 Tablespoon Rice Vinegar.

Grate Garlic and Ginger and mince the Jalopeno and clinotor very fine.  Add to pot with oil and vingar.  Same as method above.   

4.   1/2 of a small lemon squeezed
      1/2 of a lime squeezed
      1 tablespoon honey
      Cilantro minced fine.

Same as above.
