Leftover Chicken Recipe - Chicken and Spicy Sausage Pasta



This leftover chicken recipe is so tasty, nobody will know that you are using up the leftovers.

This is based on a dish my friend Tracey made for a dinner party at her house. (Although I am quite sure she didn't use leftover chicken!) It was just before the birth of her son and being heavily pregnant, dinner had to be something simple in case we had to rush off to the hospital!
