Yesterday, Belle was hungry for chicken, so I found some boneless chicken breasts, pounded them flat, cut them into strips, the rolled then in seasoned flour, an egg wash and panko crumbs. Fried then golden brown with mashed potatoes and cream gravy.
Only problem, I cooked way too much. This morning, I was hungry for a jambalaya for lunch, so I took those leftover chicken strips, cut them into morsels, then added sausage and made my basic chicken and sausage jambalaya. Except I didn't have any Rotel tomatoes.
Oh, damn. That fried chicken jambalaya was the best I've made in a while.
I don't know what we're having for lunch tomorrow. Like Scarlett O'Hara, we will worry about that tomorrow.

That sounds delicious. You Cajuns know how to eat. :^)
One of my go to easy meals with chicken strips is placing two of those in a tortilla and a strip of cheese. Dust with cayenne. Two are a meal along with a salad on the side.
Buy Rotel by the case. Comes in several levels of heat. I like the Hatch and the Habanero ones.
Anything canned you use regularly is worth buying by the case.
