I know we all have a special place in our hearts for Costco. There are certain things we can't walk through that place without tossing in our carts. One of my favorite things is the Rotisserie Chicken. I still know there are people out there that have never tried one and I'm alarmed by this.
For the $4.99 price tag and weight of a 3 lb. bird, per pound that is less expensive than the frozen chicken breasts we frequently purchase. I can usually get 3 dinners out of one chicken and that is pretty amazing. Granted we are a small family and the main eaters are the husband and I. An average family could easily get two versatile meals from it.
The first night I purchase it I generally serve it with a veggie, and grain. After eating I remove all of the meat off of the chicken and put into a Ziploc bag for the next evenings meal.
Below are some easy adaptable meals to use chicken in:
Chinese Chicken Salad
Chicken Enchiladas
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Chicken Pot Pies
Chicken Poppy Seed Casserole
Chicken a la King over rice
Chicken Noodle Soup
Chicken Tacos
Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowls
Chicken Tetrazzini
BBQ Chicken Pizza
The possibilities are endless...
Just think of any recipe you need cooked chicken for and you usually can have dinner ready in under 30 minutes with minimal preparation.
In the coming weeks I will post my recipes for these dishes when time permits.
