Cook once, eat twice! It's all about practical cooking as Alex Guarnaschelli hosts a look back at some of The Kitchen's best recipes that use leftovers in simple, creative ways. Alex makes Braised Chicken Thighs with Tomatoes and Olives then turns it into a Mediterranean Pasta. Katie Lee Biegel gives leftovers a makeover with her Freezer Fix Shepherd's Pie, and Geoffrey Zakarian uses leftover pork for his Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe. Then, Sunny Anderson whips up an Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup, Geoffrey transforms leftover mashed potatoes into crispy Pierogies with Sour Cream Dip, and Jeff Mauro works his magic with leftover rice to make Carbonara Arancini.
The Kitchen couldn't leave mom out of our Rotisserie Chicken Club, so we're using this humble supermarket staple in our "Pass the Easy and Elegant Chicken Salad" recipe. The possibilities are endless, but we have the basics that make the perfect salad every time.
Stuff corn tortillas with a cheesy Buffalo filling and bake until melted for an easy weeknight meal or game day snack that's ready in a half hour. While the recipe calls for rotisserie chicken, we also swap in leftover roast turkey if it's on hand.
