What can I make with left over cooked chicken?

Yes I’m still here. Some of you may be a bit over hearing this again from me. I’ve been busy with some major health issues (well major for me) I will tell you all about it another time.

I just wanted to share something I’ve just made for dinner. I know you will like it.

Left over chicken curry recipe

1 sml onion, finely chopped (I chopped up in my Thermo)
4tbs butter
3tbs plain flour
2 cups milk
Keen’s Curry Powder
Shredded leftover chicken – approx half a large BBQ chook (I chopped up in my Thermo)
Optional – frozen peas

Fry onion in 1tbs butter until soft and transparent. Transfer to a bowl.
Melt remaining butter over medium heat and add flour, whisking for a few seconds until all combined. Remove pan from heat and add milk slowly, whisking swiftly until all combined and any lumps removed. Put pan back on heat and continue whisking slowly for approx 5-10mins until sauce has thickened.
Add curry powder to taste.
Add chicken and onion into sauce and mix through.
I added so frozen peas.
Cook uncovered on low heat approx 10-15 mins until heated through.
Serve with rice – yummy! (This was cooking in my Thermo while it all heating through)

Meal planning

Today I decided to really work out a meal plan. I’ve read lots of other people’s blog about them but never really sat down and tried to work it. My husband works long hours and my boys both have after school activities so sometimes we may just have weetbix for dinner. I know how shameful.

This is what I came up with

Tonight
Thursday – fish balls*
Friday – beef stir fry*
Saturday -homemade soup and
Sunday – what ever my man is taking myself and Master L plus two of L’s friend to the Sydney Football grand final.
Monday – chicken and cashews*
Tuesday – beef tacos
Wednesday – herbed chicken*
Thursday – homemade pork sausages*
Friday – apricot chicken*
Saturday – sausage casserole*
Sunday – leftovers
Monday – chicken enchiladas
Tuesday – homemade soup

* plus either rice, veg, salad

Pay week is fortnightly on a Wednesday so fingers crossed that we last. The only thing I may need to buy is extra milk.

So how much did this all cost.

I had to buy a selection of herbs and spices that I didnt have but will now use over.

Aldi $ 97.51
Woollies $ 98.32

Sub Total $195.83

Xtra $ 36.73 ie herbs & spiders, mag for me and moisturizer

Total $ 223.34 77 items

Do you have a meal plan that you may like to share…….

Until next time
