1. Boiled chicken meatballs
Simple and tasty, they’ll make even your children happy.
All you need to do is take some bread and soak it in milk for 15 minutes.
Once it has been squeezed, crumble it into a terracotta bowl together with the leftover boiled chicken and add some Parmesan cheese, eggs, a little parsley and a pinch of salt too.

2. Salad with boiled chicken.
A quick and fresh dish, which can also be used as a starter.
Stir-fry boiled chicken pieces with a drizzle of olive oil until golden brown.
Allow them to cool, place them in a bowl and add some salad cut into strips, some apple slices and some walnuts.
Season normally with salt, oil and white vinegar.
3. Chicken couscous
An easy and ideal one-course meal to make when you are short of time.
Take a frying pan with two knobs of butter and soften 1/2 a shallot.
Once softened, add asparagus and peas and let it cook for about 3 minutes.
In the meantime, in another pot, cook the couscous.
When all the lumps will have been removed and it will have cooled down, add the chicken, the vegetables, a little lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
