    Easy recipes for leftover chicken are an absolute must for busy families and anyone who meal plans. Let's face it, everyone loves chicken!

    For real!!

    Having a few really kick ass recipes to use up leftover chicken is so important, even if you're cooking for one. Buy a rotisserie chicken and use it for multiple meals. It's a great way to stretch out one roast chicken.

    If you're cooking for a big family and I highly recommend buying in bulk so you can save money in the long run. Watch for sales on chicken and stock your freezer up without breaking the bank.

    So many people are doing meal prep these days too and chicken recipes are perfect for that. Chicken lasts in the fridge for a couple of days and it freezes amazing, even when cooked.

    Chicken is the go-to for dinner in our household most days. It's such a versatile protein for dinner recipes. We're always making roast chicken on weekends and using the meat all week long.

    So, I thought I would share some fabulous chicken recipes with you. You can swap out leftover chicken in any of these 10 recipes!

      BLT Chicken Salad Avocado is also the best recipe you can try out with. I love a good chicken salad, and this one gets a fun twist by serving it in avocado cups.
