Made some sammy's for lunch with smoked chicken, lettuce, provlone, tomato, a touch of dijon mustard, salt, pepper, oregeno, oil & vinegar. Was darn good.

Making chicken-broccoli-garlic pizza for dinner.

What are some other everyday ideas for leftover chicken that you guys use?

    BBQ chicken quesadillas. Cooked chicken, shreaded cheese of choice, scallions, cilantro, jalapenos, etc., with some BBQ sauce if you'd like - between 2 flour tortillas - on your pizza stone.

    The wife makes a great squash casserole this time of year. If we have any left over chicken at the time, we add it--simple but really good.

    I cook whole chickens most of the time. After the cook.

    Take the carcus, bones and wings - put in a pot, toss in a couple stalks of celery, 3 or 4 whole onions quartered, and carrots bring to a boil then simmer them for 4 to 5 hours.

    Strain and from there the ideas are endless - fantastic egge'd chicken soup, chicken & dumplings and on and on.

    Oh yes the left over chicken if there is any. Sandwiches, salads, Fantastic fajitas, chicken wraps, chicken tortillas are a few things.
