Asian Bacon topped Asian Chicken with Asian Pesto Vermicelli



I created a dinner based on leftovers based from a comment someone made on a Facebook foodie group about not caring too much for leftovers.  Now I cannot say I enjoy leftovers, but there are some food that are best served best when it gets reheated over and over.  Anyways, I used this as a challenge for leftovers I had in the fridge.

In my fridge I had leftover chicken that I had used during the week on a different dish.  This was previously marinaded with Asian flavors and roasted in the oven.  I cut the chicken breast into large cubes and seared it in the reserved bacon fat.

Second, I had leftover Asian pesto I had used in my green glass noodles dish.  This was created the same way as your traditional basil pesto, but i used a Thai basil, cilantro and mint.  I tossed the Asian pesto with some vermicelli.

Last but not least, the Asian bacon.  This was not necessarily leftover, but yet it was.  I had finished making bacon the previous night and cut the slabs of bacon into smaller portions and carved off the uneven parts of the pork belly.  So I guess essentially it is the "leftover" part of the bacon.

Ladies and Gentlemen...I present to you, my fabulous dish created from a bunch of leftovers.
