Do you want to know one of my all-time favorite tricks when it comes to cooking? Alright…here it goes. I’m in love with grocery store rotisserie chickens. There. I said it. These ready-to-eat chickens are inexpensive and filled with flavor. Plus, because they’re so versatile, it’s hard for me to make a trip to the grocery store without buying a rotisserie chicken.
They’re perfect to serve as-is for a quick weeknight meal. Or, shred the chicken and add it to soups, stews and casseroles. I’m telling you…rotisserie chickens are a secret weapon in my kitchen and they should be in your kitchen too. The meat from these chickens can be combined with just a few simple ingredients to provide your family with healthy, protein-packed meals.
So, the next time you’re at the grocery store trying to decide on a healthy and hearty meal for your family, head over to the deli section of the store and place a rotisserie chicken in your shopping cart. They can be a life-saver when trying to throw together a delicious dinner.
Ok, I need to make soup after looking at that gorgeous photo! Wow :)
Agree!
I used rotisserie chicken last week to make enchiladas.
I use rotisserie chicken in everything! It makes life so much easier for soup, chicken salads, casseroles, etc. Great post!
I am so with you…one of my few 'ready made' go to dishes. I buy mine from Costco and it's all I can do to not dig it for a piece on the way home. I typically have a meal with it fresh and then make soup with the carcass…best way to get all the meat off the bone!
My hubs loves rotisserie chicken. Thanks for this post!
Looks delicious! I love cooking a whole chicken in my slow-cooker and using it in several different dishes. Such a time-saver!
Rotisserie chicken is one of our favorite easy ingredients. With brown rice and veggies, it really does make a tasty and healthful meal.
