Leftovers

I've got about a meals worth of leftover roast beef and chicken (about a meal combined) only I've got no inspiration as to how to combine them into a meal.

Any thoughts?

I don't think I'd ever combine them at all tbh.
The chicken's fairly easy, you only need a little for a stir-fry, or make a spiced rice and veg mix and add to that. It doesn't need to be 'a meal's worth', I do it with just a little handful of shreds. Or add to mushrooms and any kind of creamy or tomatoey sauce for pasta.
The beef - pasties? One pasty? Samosas, with mashed potato, a few peas and spices? Or the same idea, mince then add to a spicy rice mix.
Either can also be used for pizza toppings.
Or mince/process it, freeze it, then add more to it next time you have some.

You could always freeze the beef until you have another half meals worth Weka.

There was more chicken there than I thought. We did a stir fry with rice, and there is now only 2 BIG slices of roast beef left. Might do lunch for G and I tomorrow.

Thanks for the ideas.
