Rotisserie Chicken Ideas -- back to top
Meredith and I really like to buy packs of rotisserie chicken breast from Costco. It comes in a 2+ pound bag of just the breast. No skin, no dark meat, no bones. It is more per pound but still a good deal.
Below is a list of selected ideas of things to do with it that we've done before then other ideas.
List is in no particular order.
Rotisserie Chicken Tortilla less Tortilla Soup -- back to top
Meredith and I made "tortilla" (without any tortilla) soup since we wanted to keep using the rotisserie chicken. We decided to follow Aaron Sanchez' (Local).
With the additional spices, I think it came out pretty good. It still needed more salt though. While we did like it, I still think it kind of lacked flavor. I wouldn't say this is "our recipe" but may be a good jumping off point in the future.
We also made a (1.5-2x) batch of Spicy Spiralized Shoe String Jicama Fries. We probably went heavy on the seasonings. Also, since they were so wet and we had the space, we used two trays to allow them to crisp more. They were really good.

Romesco Chicken with Grilled Green Onions -- back to top
We made a meal heavily inspired by this Serious Eats Recipe (local), though we really didn't follow it at all except (sort-of) for the onions.
We used rotisserie chicken breast instead of cooking chicken. I just chopped it up into small pieces and then sautéed it a bit with some smoked paprika and garlic powder. Nothing special
Meredith made her regular Romesco Sauce1 except she made her life much easier and used canned roasted peppers. Honestly, when they are in the sauce, you can't tell a difference and these were so much less work!
And for the onions, we did them on a sauté pan and seared them since they didn't fit on the grill pan. Other than being a bit hard to chew, they were really good.
Note to self, I should make the romesco it's own recipe page ↩
Asian Style Salad & Cucumber Carrot Salad -- back to top
Our original plan was to make fresh/spring rolls, but we spent much of the night packing and just didn't feel like dealing with the rolls. So we made this into a salad.
As you can see in the picture below, we made the salad out of:
For meat, we had two things:
Like I said, the plan was to roll it up but we decided to turn the sauce into dressing and make it a salad. Much easier and very good.
Meredith made the dressing inspired by The Food Network though we really only used that as inspiration so I am not copying it locally.
Meredith used the following to taste:
We also made a cucumber salad with this Will Cook For Friends recipe (local). Meredith has done this before and it was good so she did it again. The only real change was the use the vegetable peeler on the carrots instead of the spiralizer. Also, she went on the light side of the honey.
Huevos Rancheros -- back to top
We needed a quick meal and wanted to use some of the tortillas and rotisserie chicken. So we made the usual Huevos Rancheros. Nothing really to it. Just used up the rotisserie and some smokey sauce
Calabacitas Con Pollo -- back to top
First meal in the new house! We needed something quick, easy, and healthy. We bought a Costco thing of rotisserie chicken earlier in the day and Smiths had a thing of 3 zucchini + 3 anaheim1 peppers on sale since it was getting old. We did those plus another zucchini.
We did what has become our regular calabacita trick: butter. We used 2-3 Tbsp butter (but it made 4 servings) plus some adobo powder, salt, and garlic powder.
When it was almost finished, we added ~12+ ounces of Rotisserie chicken.
It came out really good. Not a ton of food since we divided it into 4 but it was enough. Also, this was our first time getting to test both the new kitchen and also the new cast iron pan.
This is a guess! They kind of looked like very long and smooth banana peppers. But they were also old. We're really not sure ↩
Rotisserie Chicken Kale Caesar -- back to top
We were again doing a Rotisserie chicken week. This was pretty easy. We used Costco's Power Green mix (Kale, swiss chard, and spinach). We used our regular healthier salad dressing (which I also went back and added a note about less lemon). We also had one extremely stale leftover bagel from the move. I cut it up, sprayed it with pam, topped it with salt and garlic powder, and toasted it. The bagel croutons came out really good!
We also topped the salad with tomatoes.
It came out pretty good! And easy!
Rotisserie Chicken Green-Chile Enchilada Lasagna (style) -- back to top
Meredith and I teamed up to make chicken enchilada "lasagna" similar to last time. Meredith started it with half an onion and two red bell peppers plus cumin1, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
We had to take a break in the middle because of a dog emergency. When we got back, I finished it by adding mushrooms, chicken (around 1 pound) and green chile.
I added a bunch of canned green chile (505 Brand -- and not the sauce, just chile). I added some to the mix of chicken and stuff and then when I was layering it, I added a very thin layer. The layers were two corn tortillas, chicken mix, green chile (again, light on it) and then lite cheese. I made two of them.
I liked this though I think I liked the flavors more last time (though Meredith disagrees). It was also a bit spicy!
Meredith was in charge. That means lots of cumin ↩
