Call me the leftover queen

I love eating healthy. I love eating healthy, almost as much as I love TWO healthy meals from ONE easy dinner, aka leftovers.

Before we move forward, I define healthy as having a balanced diet of ALL food groups. I try to make unhealthy foods a little healthier, for example putting spinach and tomato on a burger, BOOM, healthy.

So we have this whole chicken in the crock pot that was last night's dinner and magically turned into chicken salad today.

So, first the crockpot chicken

• 2 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp seasoned salt
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tps black pepper
• 1 onion
• 1 whole chicken
• Enough water to get chicken damp

1. Chop onion, place in bottom of the slow cooker

2. Mix all spices in a small bowl

3. Remove giblets from inside chicken

4. Place chicken in crockpot and pour water over it

5. Rub spices all over the chicken, even inside the cavity

6. Close crockpot and turn on high for 4-5 hours, or on low 5:30-7 hours

*Sidenote, this recipe is made even easier by stopping at the grocery store and buying one of those rotisserie chickens. Similar recipe, works just as well for next recipe

Chicken Salad

• Left over chicken, with skin, but removed from bones
• 1 Onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp. Mayonnaise 

1. Shred chicken. I use a food processor, but I'm sure you could shred this with a fork too. 

2. Mix onion & chicken together

3. Mix chicken/onion with mayo

4. Assemble sandwich

Voila! Dinner and lunch. Enjoy. If you try it, let me know your thoughts!
