Use some of the left over meat from the roasted chicken to make mini chicken pot pies.

Shred 1-2 cups chicken
1-2 cups frozen vegetable mix
1 potato diced small and cooked through
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chicken stock or water
1 can jumbo biscuits

Combine all ingred except biscuits. Pour into individual size ramekins or oven safe bowls. Top each ramekin with a biscuit and place on a cookie sheet. Cook in a 350 degree oven until biscuit is golden brown and cooked through and pies are bubbling. Serve warm.

Saturday:
Left over makeover
Use the remaining pulled pieces from the roasted chicken to make BBQ chicken sandwiches.

Toss chicken in BBQ sauce and serve on a warm bun/roll.
Serve along side a fresh green salad or your favorite cole slaw.


I love roasted chicken because they are really flavorful and great for leftovers. Our chicken was home-made which allows you to control the seasonings etc. However, if you find yourself short on time or you really like the pre-roasted/rotisserie chickens you can pick up at the supermarket, these can be great options too and would work for all of these left over makeovers and more.

These sounds so good! How big was your chicken?

Just a couple lbs, but when there are only two people and other things on the plates that few lbs goes a lot further!
