When we have dinner, I am always cooking more than we need. I just got use to it as I hated cooking a second dinner when the kids were still hungry. So often we will have lots of leftovers depending on how their appetite is. One thing I never worry about cooking extra of is chicken. There are so many things I can make with leftover chicken the next day. The possibilities are really endless. Sandwiches, casseroles and salads just t name a few.
If you have leftover chicken and are looking to bring it back to life, here is a round up for you!
10 Chicken Salad recipes

With Spring around the corner these light salads with leftover chicken are perfect for entertaining, lunch or a quick dinner. Of course you can cook the chicken while prepping the salad, however I personally prefer to use leftovers and save time. In case you did not know, cooked poultry is safe refrigerated for 3-4 days.
