Notes

Use leftover chicken and pasta sauce between toasted bread for a delicious sandwich. This also makes an easy weeknight meal that is also a simple recipe.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and use the microwave to warm them.

Skip the pasta noodles and use zoodles made from zucchini or spiralized spaghetti squash.
