20 Easy Leftover Chicken Recipes You'll Get Excited To Make

By Samantha Boesch of Eat This, Not That!

You went to your local grocery store and purchased a rotisserie chicken, but now you're faced with the problem of having too much and having no idea how to use the leftovers. Or maybe you purchased raw chicken breast and need to cook it up before it goes bad, but are looking for a few creative meal ideas to incorporate what you'll have leftover afterward. Either way, if you have a plethora of chicken and want some inspiration for how to use it, you may benefit from some easy leftover chicken recipes.

Having recipe inspiration like this to pull from can benefit you in multiple ways. For one, you'll be far more excited about your meals if you know it's going to be more than just plain chicken with a side of vegetables. This excitement can keep you from ordering takeout and spending money when you don't have to. Another way these chicken recipes can be beneficial is by helping you have more control over what you're eating. When we eat out, we don't always know what exactly is going in our bodies, not to mention how the calorie, fat, and sodium content of restaurant food or takeout is often higher than what you would make at home.

So, if you have leftover cooked chicken or remains from the rotisserie you bought, try one of these 20 leftover chicken recipes for dinner tonight. And if you have raw chicken that you won't have time to cook anytime soon, make sure to read up on How Long You Can Store Chicken in the Freezer.

30 Healthy Chicken Breast Recipes That Are Anything But Boring

We know what you're thinking: How exciting can chicken breasts be? As it turns out, pretty exciting, actually. Plus, the fact that these chicken breast recipes also happen to be healthy too is really the cherry on top of the cake. Admittedly, Team Delish is solidly very much about chicken thighs, but these healthy (yet still super-satisfying) chicken breast recipes have us rethinking our allegiance, especially if BBQ chicken salad is what's for dinner tonight!

When it comes to healthy eating, we think it's key to keep boredom at bay. Chicken breasts can often get a bad rap, but they're also the perfect blank canvas for endless flavor combos that would never come across as bland "health food." Personally, we can't get enough of the combo of chicken + any and all citrus. It's a light and bright way to add tons of flavor without feeling weighed down, as we did with our recipes for crunchy Mandarin orange chicken salad, one-pan coconut lime chicken, and skillet lemon lemon-herb chicken and potatoes.

Eating healthy also doesn't mean you have to give up those comfort food classics. Far from it! Case in point: our air-fryer chicken parm recipe. It's truly unbelievable that something so crispy and indulgent-tasting doesn't use any oil. And don't get us started on our air-fryer orange chicken. It's sweet and savory just like the mall food court classic, but just a tiny bit better for you.
