Tim’s Leftover Roast Chicken Pot

Takes 30 minutes
Feeds however many you want to

Seeing how many meals you can get out of one roast chicken is a great challenge. This recipe is a bit more of a treat and can be eaten with pasta, jacket potatoes, your favourite vegetables or a green salad.

Method

Soften the onions and red peppers in an oven proof pan with a good chunk of butter. Break up the leftover roast chicken into chunks and spread over the top, then add the sliced mushrooms. Melt the butter and cheese into the flour and milk in a separate pan to make a thick cheese sauce and pour it over to cover the other ingredients. Put the sliced tomato on top. Finally, top with the streaky bacon. Bake in the oven at 180C until the bacon is crisp.

Serve with pasta or jacket potatoes and broccoli for a really hearty meal or a green salad with French dressing.

Two onions, finely chopped
Two red peppers, thinly sliced
A good handful of your favourite mushrooms, sliced
Leftover cold roast chicken
Sliced smoked streaky bacon
Two tomatoes, sliced

For the sauce
