Leftover Meals 1, 2 and 3-Brats, Chicken Salad and Pasta

| | Comments (0)

I ordered one of those Fresh Direct rotisserie chicken meals and am getting quite a lot of mileage out of it, so I wanted to record just how far I'm making it go. My version included sour cream mashed potatoes and broccolini with garlic chips.

The first night of leftovers we ate chicken bratwurst with carmelized onions and mustard over the mashed potatoes. I liked to have my potatoes with a bite of the onions, a nice sweet addition to the tangy but also kind of bland potatoes.

Then lunch the next day. I diced up part of the remaining chicken breast and mixed it with one chopped scallion, salt, pepper, mayonnaise and a ground hot curry mix from Penzey's, and we ate it in top-split hot dog buns with mini carrots on the side. I know it's not exciting cooking, but it was still really tasty.

Supper last night was the leftover broccolini with pasta. I warmed some oil with some chili flakes in a skillet, then when the pasta was about halfway cooked I added the broccolini to the oil. Tossed it until warm, then added the nearly cooked pasta and a little of the water. Bubbled that a bit, then served the pasta with copious amounts of grated grana padano. I think I'm cooking the leftover pasta and broccolini (leftover leftovers!) in a frittata for lunch, but I have to figure out what to cook it in that's small enough for one serving.
