leftovers

chicken chili

November 27, 2015 By Fareen Leave a Comment

The days are getting cold and all we want to eat around here is something warm and comforting. This chicken chili hits the spot! I’m always looking for ways to use up leftover chicken, whether it be bbq’d or rotisserie and this is the perfect way to do it.

This chili tastes great if you let it simmer on the stove for a while, let all the ingredients come together. The house will smell incredible and be filled with warmth. Perfect for these cold days.

Chicken Chili

2 pounds cooked chicken, shredded
2 carrots, diced
1 onion, diced
2 cans (540mL) mixed beans
1 can (796 mL) crushed tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp cumin powder
2 tsp paprika
1 TB olive oil
1/2 cup water
salt
pepper
chili powder, as desired

In a large pot, add oil and cook the onions and carrots until softened. Add the chicken, beans, tomatoes and spices along with the water and let simmer for 30 – 45 minutes. Top with cheese and cilantro.

1 can mixed beans, drained
1 can crushed tomatoes
2 – 4 tablespoons chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup water – See more at: http://www.foodmamma.com/2010/09/comforting-slow-cooker-chili.html#sthash.Bl7junxS.dpuf

chicken salad

October 14, 2015 By Fareen 1 Comment

Every couple of weeks, I always try and pick up a rotisserie chicken on my shopping trip. The rotisserie chickens are so versatile – you can eat them as is or use the chicken in so many ways. From sandwiches, to soups to stock, one chicken can go a long way!

One way to use the chicken is to make chicken salad. The creaminess of the mayo, the crunch of the green onions and that distinct kick from the Dijon make this the perfect lunch. Sandwiched between bread or scooped up with crackers, its a great way to use leftovers.

Chicken Salad

1 cup shredded chicken
1/4 cup mayo
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp oregano
1 green onion
salt
pepper

Sweet and simple – put everything into a bowl and mix.
