This dish is great to use the leftover chicken from the night before.
I think I'm on a mission to show you how you can save by using leftovers.

Serves 4

Ingredients​

• 2 cups leftover shredded chicken about 200g
• 250 g dried macaroni pasta
• pinch of salt
• 4 rashers smoked bacon roughly chopped
• 2 large garlic cloves crushed or 2 teaspoon of jar garlic
• 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary or dried is ok
• 300 ml pure cream
• 2 teaspoon butter
• ⅔ cup fresh parmesan cheese grated (50g)
• ⅓ cup shredded mozzarella

Instructions​

• Pre heat oven to 180c
• Cook pasta according to packet directions (I only add a very small pinch of salt to the water) minus 1 min, then drain & return to pot, adding 2 teaspoon of butter and stirring lightly to coat
• While pasta is cooking, place bacon in a small non-stick fry pan/skillet and fry for 6-8 mins, then add garlic and rosemary to pan & continue to fry for 1 min then remove pan from heat
• 
  
• Add bacon mixture to cooked pasta & stir lightly to mix, then add cream & shredded parmesan to pasta, mixing to coat, then add chicken & mix again until incorporated
• Tip chicken and pasta mixture into an a baking dish, top with shredded mozzarella and bake uncovered for about 20 mins, or until peaks are lightly browned, then serve immediately
  

The baking dish I use for this recipe is 20cm x 30cm x 5cm

Goes well with a side salad

Looks great, Leftovers are good value and most times tastier than on the day made - as in spag bolognaise - or that is how i have found it:_) Keep on with your mission-thankyou!

Casseroles, soups and stews I actually prefer the next day

Left-over chicken - never heard of it! Is it a real thing?

Make double and you might have leftovers

They always do taste better a day or more later - all the flavours have had time to amalgamate to taste the way they are meant to taste.
