I believe this is something I’ve mentioned before, but it’s a favorite idea of mine. We almost always have leftover chicken from some source, and it’s never enough for a “full” meal for anyone.
The other night I made a whole chicken, and was left with an entire container full of leftover chicken. It’s not that my kids didn’t eat the majority of the whole chicken, there was just a whole lot to eat. Since most of what was left was white meat, I knew they probably wouldn’t eat a whole lot of it without it being in something.
So I pulled out my absolute favorite leftover recipe idea – fried rice. Now I totally cheat on this one, using a box of the stuff you buy in stores. Once in awhile I’ll make my own fried rice, but lately I’ve been cheating most the time. It just tastes better. 
All you have to do is cook up the rice as you normally would, then toss in the leftovers. Sometimes I’ll make pork chops after making chicken, so I can throw other meat into the mix as well. You can also toss in some extra vegetables like corn, peas, and carrots. I recommend using canned to make it extra easy.
When you are finished, you’ve got yourself a full meal all rolled into one! Very easy and VERY yummy.
