Prompt
Hey Leftover Chef,
I’ve got a random mix of ingredients and no idea what to make.
In my fridge, I’ve got some leftover cooked chicken, half a bell pepper, a few eggs, and a handful of spinach.
In the pantry, there’s some rice, pasta, and canned tomatoes.
I don’t want to waste anything, but I’m also not trying to make a huge meal.
Any ideas for something simple but tasty?
I’m good with anything that won’t take too long to cook, and if you’ve got tips for seasoning or substitutions, I’m all ears!
Output
You’ve got the makings of some tasty meals! Here are three quick ideas:
Chicken & Veggie Fried Rice: Sauté bell pepper, then add spinach. Push veggies aside, scramble eggs, and toss in rice and leftover chicken. Season with soy sauce, garlic, or chili flakes.
Spinach & Chicken Pasta: Cook pasta, then sauté bell pepper. Add canned tomatoes, spinach, and chicken. Toss with pasta and season with salt, pepper, and herbs like oregano.
Quick Chicken & Veggie Frittata: Sauté bell pepper and spinach in an oven-safe pan. Whisk eggs, season, and pour over veggies and chicken. Let set on the stove, then bake at 375°F for 10-15 minutes.
All these recipes are easy, quick, and help you avoid waste! A little garlic, chili flakes, or herbs will enhance the flavor.
Any of these catch your eye?
