So I cooked too many chicken thighs a few days ago. And the recipe I used wasn’t that good. Which means I have about eight thighs left over, but we don’t want to eat them as they were originally prepared. What to do?
Go online, of course. Check Google® for recipes. Or visit my own cookbook stash, which is what I eventually did. Rediscovered a favorite recipe for the chicken spaghetti I’ve made umpteen times. And, lo and behold, I had all the ingredients except the mushrooms. I substituted colored peppers and went to work.
I cut the original recipe, which served 12 to 15, down to the amount of chicken I had and reduced all the other ingredients accordingly. Popped it in the oven feeling really smug. And the casserole was good.
But the leftover problem remains.
We now have half a casserole of chicken spaghetti left, when all I wanted to do in the first place was get rid of the leftover thighs. Any suggestions?
