    Chicken pie, (you could slice the potatoes very thinly on top - sort of like a hot pot) if you have no pastry.
    Risotto - Using the chicken and some of the veggies.
    Paella
    Stuffed peppers
    Curry

    I would do a chicken pasta bake using the soup as a base for the sauce

    use hte chicken in a chicken fried rice recipe - cook some rice and leave it to cool. fry some onions in butter with a wee drop of oil so it doesnt burn, add veggies that you fancy, add your rice and chicken, seasoning to taste mix it all up and serve. i love it veggie only, can be made quite buttery, fantastic taste and a excellent comfort food. i serve it on its on (with some chutney) or with a curry sauce
