what to do with leftover roast chicken?
I hosted a large dinner party and roasted a bunch of chickens. I made three different soups from carcasses and scraps. But I still have a whole, untouched chicken. Any great ideas that can be frozen and taken out later. We have obligations all week so it won't get eaten anytime soon.

Then, there's always chicken pie or casserole. My mother used to make something called Chicken Tortilla Stack--basically a layered dish of fried flour tortillas, spiced sour cream (cumin, coriander, ground chiles), poached shredded chicken, and cheese. Completely ghetto but absolutely delicious. Serve with salsa.
You could also go old-school and make creamed chicken crêpes.
Cut up some of the chicken and brush with hoisin sauce, put on foil and broil just a min to crisp up the skin. Serve like a 'mock peaking duck'. in the wrap with some green onions and more hoisin sauce.
I think I might end up cooking some chicken just for a sandwich now, thanks!
