There are many things you can do with leftover chicken. One of our favorites is to make quesadillas.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In this version, I spread some bean dip on the tortilla, added chopped onions and leftover rotisserie chicken, olives and cheese. You can add so many different things to jazz up the quesadillas: chopped peppers, chopped jalapenos, different kinds of cheeses, or black beans.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is one of my favorite fast meals. It can be a lunch or a dinner.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Add a healthy salad as a side and you have a quick, easy dinner with leftovers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Recently I made a Southwestern Chicken Salad<\/a> and there were tons of leftover black beans, corn and green onions. I needed to use them up so I decided to add them to some scrambled eggs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It was messy looking and not very photogenic but it\u00a0 was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Add some salsa and sour cream to the top of the eggs and it’s a great Southwest Scramble.<\/p>\n

Some other ideas for leftovers:<\/p>\n

1. Top pizza with shredded leftover chicken.<\/p>\n

2. Use leftover rice for a casserole or add to soup to thicken it up.<\/p>\n

3. Dice up leftover chicken and create a salad with light mayo, chopped celery and other veggies.<\/p>\n

4. Use leftover chicken breasts in a casserole with cheese, rice and broccoli.<\/p>\n
