Before we know Thanksgiving will be here. You always have some leftover turkey after each thanksgiving, what you can do with it? Yesterday I had more than half left over roast chicken I bought from Costco. So I am going to tell you what I did with it. All the recipes work fine with Turkey too.

Chicken breast is good for sandwich, Panini,  wrap or even salad. I am only going to tell you the dishes I had already done. If I create more dishes with the left over later, I will update this post.

Chicken wrap

Cut the chicken breast into small pieces and add some same size celery or cucumber and some dry cranberries. My favor thing to add to it is mayonnaise. You can use any kind of wrap to make a yummy chicken wrap. Have a cup of tea and in less than 10 minutes, I have the yummy lunch ready

Chicken noodle soup

After I used the chicken breast, I still had the dark meat and the chicken frame. Cut the dark meat into small pieces too and use the frame to cook broth for chicken noodle soup.

In a big cooking pot, add water and chicken frame and cook 30 minutes with medium low heat for brother.

Cut some vegetable such as carrot, onion and celery and a little bit of garlic. In a sautéed pan add some butter add in all the vegetable and sweat them for a few minutes until they are all tender, add a pinch of salt and black pepper ( chicken was already flavored with salt and pepper, so don’t put too much here) add in the broth then simmer for 15-20 minutes. In a separated pot, bring some water to boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook some bow ties. When the vegetable is almost ready, add in bow ties and dark meat then cook 2, 3 more minutes

Panini

One day after I cooked soup, I still had some chicken breast left. I opened my refrigerator and I only found some cheddar cheese and wrap. I didn’t feel like to eat wrap. So I created my own version of Panini. I spread the cheese and chicken over half of the wrap and fold the other half over. I grilled it for a few minutes. The result: super juicy and yummy.

Cooking should be fun and creative. Don’t be afraid of doing something different, Lol… At least I am not.

Wings with pickle sauce

In a big cooking pan add enough water to cook 6 pieces of wings. Bring the water to boil add 2-3 pieces of ginger, cook the wings in the boiling water until the juice running out of the wing is clear when you stick a fork into it.

Cool the wing to the room temperature, and then add enough pickle sauce to cover all the wings. Leave them in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours. For the best result 24 hours is recommended. This recipe is also good for chicken feet and pig feet.

糟卤鸡翅

在大鍋中添加足夠的水來煮其余6只翅膀 。把水燒開加 2-3 片生薑，放鸡翅进去煮到鸡翅用叉子叉进去时流出的水没有血水。

鸡翅冷卻到室溫，然後加入足夠的糟卤要覆蓋所有的翅膀。放在冰箱裡至少 6 小時。建議 24 小時有最好的結果。這個配方也适用于雞爪和豬腳。
