How to Use Our Grocery Store Rotisserie Chicken in More Delicious Ways
There’s no denying that preparing tasty home cooked meals throughout the workweek can be challenging. At Foodtown, we like to remind our shoppers that It’s Smart! to take shortcuts where you can and that’s where a rotisserie chicken comes in! On the busiest of days, a rotisserie roasted chicken can come to rescue, yummy enough to be eaten on its own alongside your favorite side dishes, and versatile enough to be incorporated into your favorite chicken recipes. Here are some of our favorite ways to upgrade a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
Easy Ways to Use a Rotisserie Roasted Chicken
Pair with Pasta
Chicken adds an extra touch of protein to even the simplest of pasta dishes, making it the perfect meal for non-stop days. Try this Rotisserie Chicken and Bow-Tie Pasta recipe from Betty Crocker for a bite that tastes like you spent hours over the stove. Or, lighten it up with this Whole Wheat Spaghetti with Chicken, Brussels Sprouts, and Parmesan from Serious Eats.
Shred into Salad
Chicken salad is an easy meal, perfect for a Sunday night of meal prep for the week. Make a batch of this Classic Rotisserie Chicken Salad from I’d Rather be a Chef or infuse the ethnic flavors of this Asian Rotisserie Chicken Salad from Martha Stewart. Either recipe may be enjoyed on its own or incorporated into a satisfying sandwich or wrap.
Simmer into Soup
Making a big batch of soup is a great way to revitalize leftover rotisserie chicken and can last you for a few days. The best part? All you really need to do is throw everything into a big pot and let it simmer away. Try this classic Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup from My Recipes or this Rotisserie Chicken Pho from Momma Cuisine.
Pop into Pot Pie
When made completely from scratch, chicken pot pie can be an undertaking. By using rotisserie chicken and pre-made crust options, you can cut the prep down to make this a great weeknight meal option! Try these Mini Rotisserie Chicken Puff Pastry Pot Pies from Delish or this simple Biscuit Chicken Pot Pie from No Biggie.
Cook into a Casserole
Rotisserie chicken casseroles can be made in advance and placed in the oven just before serving, making them a great option for those who like to meal prep on the weekend. Sneak some veggies into your family’s diet with this Veggie-Loaded Rotisserie Chicken Casserole from Project Meal Plan or go bold with the flavors of this French Onion Chicken Casserole.
