Now Om..think about it. Really.

Gazpacho won't use up the remains of the chicken..and it uses more
veggies than I have. Yes, it is hotter weather fare, but it doesn't
incorporate the chicken remains.... It is a veggie soup...and in it's
essence incorporates no poultry or meat stuff. Purely veggie.

I am asking what to do with the remains of my chicken..and especially
not in colder weather fare.

DH & I often use up leftover roast chicken in tacos, quesadillas or
tostadas...cheap cheap, cheap and a nice change.

Ok then, spring rolls with any greens and rice/tapioca wrappers. That is
how I use up a LOT of leftover chicken breasts here! And it's been in
the 90's so far this month.

Mixed with veggies and rice with a light sauce also might work?

I was just kidding you with the gazpacho, sorry. <g> I never have been
a fan of cold soups...

What about chicken tacos or burritos?

Pasta salad, rice salad, cous-cous salad, filled crepes, or tostadas all
come to mind as economical hot-weather fare. Here are some more-specific
ideas:

Crepes filled with shredded chicken, shredded carrots, and shredded lettuce
with a topping of grated tomatoes, olive oil, olives, parsley, and homemade
queso fresco, served room temperature. (Note that crepes and queso fresco
are quite cheap to make.)

Tostadas with shredded lettuce, shredded chicken, chopped pickled vegetables
(carrots, cauliflower, and jalapeño), tomatillo salsa, and a drizzle of
crema or homemade crème fraiche. (Note that you can make tostada shells by
microwaving corn tortillas.)

Add chicken to the Moosewood Thai salad:

Room-temperature rice salad using the same ingredients as the recipe in the
link above, but using rice instead of the lettuce and potatoes, and adding
chicken.

Cous-cous with diced chicken, plumped raisins, minced celery and onions,
cilantro, chopped kalamata olives, pine nuts, and a cinnamon vinaigrette.

Pasta salad with half-dried tomatoes, chicken, olive oil, slivered
scallions, and mint.

You can make stock and use it to produce a soup that is nice served chilled,
Ginger carrot , or red pepper bisque or such.
