I had a chicken thigh and leg in the crockpot cooking away for the lunch I planned for my husband. But he called mid-morning to see if I could have lunch for him as well as 2 friends. Here's how I stretched 2 peices of meat to feed lunch for 4 at the last minute....
Last Minute Pasta Salad
Cooked chicken (I used a leg quarter)
pasta (I used spiral)
1-2 zucchini
1 onion
1-2 tomatoe
olive oil
handful basil
italian dressing
salt and pepper to taste
Chop zucchini, onion, tomatoe and basil. Cook onion, when onion is about halfway cooked at zucchini. Cook pasta until done while vegetables are cooking. While pasta is cooking chop chicken,tomatoe and basil. Turn heat off veggies when the zucchini is cooked but still crisp. Drain pasta when done. In a large bowl combine pasta, veggies, chicken and basil. Add italian dressing (I'd say I use about a 1/2 bottle, but depends on how you like it) and salt and pepper to taste.
It was quite tasty and a blessing to hand something other than sandwiches for him and his friends.
