Left over chicken
One thing I made that was SO good…
Chicken “Shepherd’s Pie"
Ingredients:
1 lb chicken meat (can be leftovers)
1 jar Heinz fat free chicken gravy
1 can of mixed vegetables, drained
1 bag of cauliflower florets
2 tbsp I Can’t Believe it’s Not Butter +
¼ c. milk
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use full fat but you can use 2% or even fat free)
Directions:
In a pan combine chicken, gravy and mixed vegetables and warm through completely then let simmer to reduce liquid a little.
Boil cauliflower florets until soft. Drain and put in a bowl. Add “butter" and enough milk to get a good mash going. Or you can combine the three in a food processor.
Pour chicken/veggie mixture in a pie plate. Top with mashed cauliflower.
Top mashed cauliflower with shredded cheese
Bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes.

In foil place your chicken, add favorite veggies such as a slice or two of potatoes, onion, cauliflower, broccoli, baby carrots, celery...sprinkle with salt and pepper, onion powder and or garlic powder ( optional)...I put a few dabs of lite margarine in mine...Can use molly mcbutter flakes or I cant believe its not butter spray...close up foil into a pouch, bake until veggies are done...350 degrees
Shred up chicken, put in crock pot...add some chicken broth...toss in green beans, peas, chunks of potato, baby carrots, onions...coo****il veggies are done...
Shred up chicken, put in crock pot...pour barbecue sauce over it, cook slow until ready to eat...I like to make my own barbecue sauce with brown sugar, ketchup, mustard, diced up onions fine, pepper, liquid smoke...dab of water to thin just a little
Maybe you could use the chicken in an egg omlett, with cheese, onions, mushrooms, green and red peppers, tomatoes or salsa
Shred up the chicken, add a little water, taco seasoning mix....use for tacos or burritos...
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.
