Delicious Recipes for Left Over Chicken

I cook dinners from scratch just about everyday.  We go out on rare occasions for two reasons. I often don't trust restaurant food and there are few places where we live that I just love.  To me going out for dinner is a treat and I want excellent service as well as wonderful food.   In other words we don't just run out for a bite because I don't feel like cooking.  I try to make every meal full of healthy selections.

I do have my favorite fast meals that include my husband grilling chicken, salmon, steak or hamburger patties.  I love meat and though I am health conscious about or food we have it once a week.  Just mentioning steak makes me want one.

I also use left overs to create  delicious meal.  It seems like I always have some left over chicken. If we are going to have chicken two nights a row sometimes I come up with something interesting to do with the chicken. 

Here is a favorite and easy chicken with onions and mushrooms.  I almost always have mushrooms around because we love them and they are super for the immune system.  Not many people know  that.
