When it comes to the “what’s for dinner” dilemma, If there was ever anything that has saved the day for me, rotisserie chicken would have to be it! You can pick up a hot rotisserie chicken at almost any grocery store deli on your way home from work (or soccer practice etc.), grab a couple of side itemslike potatoes wedges or salad fixings, and you have dinner with almost no work. These super timesavers are also great when you need cooked chicken for a recipe and don’t have the time or inclination to cook your own (and it tastes better than canned). Just pull the meat off the bones and you have the makings of chicken salad, chicken tacos (also enchiladas, quesadillas and burritos), not to mention countless casseroles. Most rotisserie chickens will yield about 2-2 ½ cups of meat, more than enough for a family of four. The next time you’re stumped for a super-fast dinner idea, why not try letting a rotisserie chicken save the day?
