Got leftovers? We've got recipes. 18 delicious recipes using cooked chicken (plus 9 bonus recipes!)

Change your breakfast, change your life. Is that how the saying goes? It should, because once you can make the perfect scrambled eggs you won't look back. This go-to recipe is as quick and simple as it is good.

4 large fresh eggs, room temperature
1 tablespoon whole or 2% milk
1 dash salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Crack the eggs into a medium size bowl.
Add the milk, salt and pepper and whisk for about 60 seconds.
Heat the butter, over medium heat, in an 8 or 10 inch non-stick skillet.
Add the egg mixture just when the butter begins to sizzle.
As the eggs begin to set, gently and slowly draw a wooden spatula or spoon though the center of the egg mixture and around the sides and bottom of the pan to form large, soft curds.
Continue to cook the eggs in this manner until the eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains. Do not vigorously stir the eggs during this process.
Remove the pan from the heat and place the eggs on a serving platter.
Serve immediately.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
