10 Easy Dishes You Can Make with Rotisserie Chicken

A rotisserie chicken is one of the best ways to make easy and delicious meals. It’s cooked and ready to go and we know they are delicious from the Safeway deli. Tender and moist, rotisserie chicken is the perfect cooked-for-you ingredient for a lot of fantastic meals.   

There are days when you just don’t have the time, the patience, or the energy to make a complete meal, so a roasted chicken from the Safeway deli is the perfect solution.  We get one at least twice a month and it pretty much gets devoured in one sitting, but sometimes I’ll be able to use it for other recipes as well.

Safeway has a great deal on their Signature Cafe rotisserie chickens this week – they are just $5.99 each with a digital coupon. 

See below for some great meal ideas you can make with a rotisserie chicken.    I always save the carcass/bones and make a delicious bone broth with it.

Rotisserie Chicken Skillet

From afamilyfeast.com – This is a simple one-skillet meal! Lightly toasted orzo is cooked in chicken stock and seasonings.

Toss together – and dinner is ready in less than twenty minutes!

 

Chicken Broccoli Casserole

A classic recipe from Gotta Want Seconds that’s made even better by the use of a rotisserie chicken. Nothing goes to better than the creamy goodness of broccoli, chicken and cream of chicken soup. I make two and freeze one for later. A great potluck recipe too.

 

Better Than Takeout Chicken Fried Rice 

This recipe for fried rice from The Recipe Critic is delicious. We love fried rice and the rotisserie chicken adds a fantastic flavor to this delicious recipe. One rotisserie chicken should more than supply the cooked chicken called for in the recipe. You could also add a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables for a complete meal.

Creamy Slow Cooker Chicken Noodle Soup

The recipe I make most often with left over rotisserie chicken is a classic chicken noodle soup.  I remove as much of the meat as I can and boil the chicken carcass with celery, onions and carrots for several hours, or I’ll put it into the slow cooker to make a delicious bone broth that I use to make my chicken noodle soup.
