Great ideas for the beloved rotisserie chicken!

Our needs are simpler but similar so skimming these new ideas was enjoyable for future consideration. Right now a 2 cup microwavable soup bowl works with a diced green onion, small chops of the cold chicken, a tablespoon of a leftover precooked vegetable (broccoli florets, corn, etc), couple tablespoons of precooked rice (Uncle Ben's packets take just 90 seconds in the microwave, [thanks Amazon!] leftover cooked rice keeps nicely until tomorrow just folded over in its bag held shut with just a rubber band), topping it all with broken up tortilla chips (out of the Doritos bag). Microwave the cup/contents for 120 seconds (the hot cup button on my machine) heats it thru perfectly and is yummy! Gonna go throw some together right now! Rotisserie chicken is one of our favorites and, as this book will show, very versatile and time saving! Highly and happily recommended! 👉💕👈

Rotisserie chicken is a great protein to use on busy nights at home where you just do not have the time to cook a full meal. The meat from a rotisserie chicken is juicy and usually well flavored from the cooking process so it makes a great place to start. This cookbook will provide you with a lot of different ideas of what you can do with the chicken from making appetizers and soups to making hearty comfort food like a casserole.

I am looking forward to preparing these recipes. Be sure to watch the discussion board for this book to see which recipes I have tried and my feedback on the recipes.

Oddly, I found this book at the dollar store. Little did I know that it offered quite a few recipes that helped me through my OAMC sessions!
