I had Gerry take the chicken off the bones for me. There was a lot of it. I took most of the noodles and put those in the bottom of an 8x8 dish. I sprinkled shredded cheese over it and topped with chicken shredded. On top of that I put the left over sauce. Not quite enough so I added a can of Diced tomatoes with peppers. I had used Mrs Dash as seasoning. On top or all of that I put the rest of the shredded cheese. That baked about 1/2 hour (350) until the cheese was browned and crunchy. I have to say it was Delicious. I will definitely do that again.
I wish I had thought to take pictures before it was cut, it looks sort of messy here, don't let that fool ya, it's awesome. Sort of like spaghetti but with that Mexican tang.
There was still a lot of chicken left. I gave the Poodles all some as a treat. I set aside enough for sandwiches tomorrow and made soup
So here is the quick soup method. 1 can of chicken broth. I can of Campbell's cream of chicken soup. I can of mixed veggies (with the water) add the chicken and salt. I cut up the left over noodles and it all made enough to have tomorrow with a chicken sandwich. Then the next day a big bowl of soup when we (hopefully) get home from our day out. So all in all the chicken that was ready cooked and under 5 dollars made us not only supper tonight but for two more days also and left overs from tonight's meal for lunch tomorrow.
Rotisserie chickens, the whole chickens also make a great way of a cheap meal. For the two of us it makes 3 or 4 meals. So there are ways to use the leftovers and make tasty and quick meals.
