Don\u2019t let that delicious chicken go to waste!<\/p>\n<p>Turns out there are loads of tasty ways to get the most from your roast. We\u2019re always fighting food waste here at Gousto, so obviously we recommend you simmer the chicken bones to make a chicken stock. But what about the leftover meat?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s time to add some flavour and healthy protein to your mid-week suppers! I\u2019ve tweaked five of my favourite chicken recipes from Gousto to give you some new ideas for using up those leftovers.<\/p>\n<h2>Crunchy Pulled Chicken Salad<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-13362 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750.jpg\" alt=\"A green salad with chicken, apple, celery and creamy mayo dressing\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/392-Crunchy-Pulled-Chicken-Salad-x750-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love this salad with leftover roast chicken, because it only takes around 10 minutes to dish up! It\u2019s super satisfying too, thanks to the exciting textures and flavours from the apple, celery, toasted almonds and creamy wholegrain mayo dressing.<\/p>\n<p>Gousto tip! Pull your leftover chicken apart with forks (or fingers!). Then pop it in the microwave with a plate over it for a minute or two while you prep your salad. This will warm it through without drying it out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gousto.co.uk\/cookbook\/chicken-recipes\/crunchy-pulled-chicken-salad\">Click here for the original recipe.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Pulled Hoisin Chicken &amp; Sesame Noodles<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13361 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl and chopsticks with pulled chicken stir fry on wholewheat noodles with hoisin sauce, kale and sesame seeds and chillies sprinkled on top. \" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750.jpg 750w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/gousto.gurucloud.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1006-Pulled-Hoisin-Chicken-Sesame-Noodles-x750-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m tempted to order a cheeky Chinese takeaway, this is the recipe I whip out to satisfy that craving.<\/p>\n<p>Using leftover chicken and a few easy ingredients, this stir fry is so much faster and healthier than ordering in.
