Leftover chicken recipes please

I make stuffed peppers with cooked chicken and spicy cous cous topped with feta and mozzarella.
I make up the cous cous using the chicken stock. Fry up some cumin seeds and coriander seeds, grind then, then fry the pepper lids cut into little bits, spring onions and mushrooms, add some ginger and garam masala, a bit of sweet chilli sauce if I have it. Then add the shredded chicken. Stuff the peppers, top with the cheese and bake in the oven for about half an hour or so.

I bought a whoopsied chicken today, but forgot I'd put it in the oven.

It had a good 40 mins longer in there than it should have done and whist it's not burned, it's very dry.

Any suggestions as to how I might rubberise it in a way that moistens it up a bit?

Thanks in anticipation...

Hi Queen Bee

I would use it up in meals which have a sauce like a curry, or soups.

How many meals did you want your rubber chiken to stretch to, and for how many people?

I would do curry / pie with gravy / pasta bake with creamy sauce type stuff, maybe even risotto, anything to moisten it

Thanks - it's just me to feed this time!!

Like the idea of risotto, but don't know how to make one...

The chicken is 1.4kg and it has one breast gone so far. It was terribly dry!!!

I'd like to do as much as possible with it.

Thought of a few things -
Curry - i add new potatoes and then fresh peas at the last minute, it also bulks it out and freezers well {if your freezing add the peas when you reheat or they don't remain the sweetness so it doesn't end up complimenting the curry}.

Slow cooking the thigh in a tomato sauce with peppers, onions and tomatoes with maybe a little chilli and garlic for like a spanish stew.

Shredding the chicken and warm up in bbq sauce and put in a wrap ,with greated cheese and salad.

Chicken spread - put chicken in a food proccesor with mayo or cream cheese, salt, pepper and herbs, and whizz till its a thick paste. Spread on sandwiches or toast.

Last but not least use the bones to make chicken soup with carrots, celery, potatoes and onion even a tin of beans to make it more filling, or strain the veg and use it a chicken stock.

Great ides - I especially like the idea of the chicken spread (whic I assume I could freeze)...

Could you share the recipes for the curry and spanish stew? They sound really tempting!!

Here's a nice recipe for chicken risotto, it's very easy, you just have to stand over it for 20 mins! However once you've learned how to do it it's perfect for using up bits of leftovers:
