The 2 Hasty-n-Tasty ideas below are specifically for left over roast chicken which, if you are like me, you will have bought at your local chicken shop the night before because you just didn’t have time to roast it at home. And, by the way, you actually do want left overs – they’re the beginnings of another meal! 

The whole objective with the meal ideas is to provide you with a repetoire of super quick, tasty & healthy meal ideas to draw on when time is tight and energy is low. These options will provide you with the nutrition you need to re-charge your body and mind – unlike fast fatty food options which will do the exact opposite.

All I’m suggesting is that you make the wisest choice possible at every meal.  

Oh, and if you haven’t exercised today why don’t you squeeze in a quick ‘Smiler’s Workout ‘   – 5 – 10 minutes is better than nothing and you’ll feel fantastic for it  – come on, your body needs it!  

Pesto Chicken Salad

Roughly chop the cold chicken and mix with good quality pesto.
Add generous amounts of grated cucumber, chopped tomatoes and whatever lettuce or fresh leaves you’ve bought. 
Eat with a piece of toasted rye bread or crackers.  
Enjoy.

Chicken Fried Rice 

Using your favourite pan, fry – in a small amount of oil - a crushed clove of garlic, a chopped onion – any kind- and a small knob of grated ginger
Add left over chicken, rice, a handful of frozen peas & a small tin of corn kernels
Add soy sauce, lemon juice, Mirin & a few drops of sesame oil  and chilli if that’s you
Enjoy.  

There are obviously plenty more ‘left over chicken meal ideas’, what’s yours?
