Turn Sunday Roast Chicken Leftovers into 3 Delicious Meals

A roast chicken is the ultimate investment for weekend cooking. Never toss leftover meat or bones—here are 3 gourmet ways to bring them back to life.

1. Ultra-Creamy Chicken Croquettes

Shred breast and thigh meat finely. Prepare a rich béchamel sauce with butter, flour, and milk. Fold in the shredded chicken with a pinch of nutmeg, chill the mixture, then bread and fry until golden crisp.

2. Express Crispy Caesar Salad

Flash-fry small pieces of leftover chicken in a pan with olive oil until edges are crispy. Toss with romaine lettuce, garlic croutons, and Caesar dressing.

3. Rich Bones & Carcass Stock

Place bones and carcass into a pot with water, 1 carrot, 1 leek, and salt. Simmer for 45 minutes to extract a nutrient-dense homemade chicken stock.
