5 Easy meal ideas with Rotisserie Chicken
by Debbie Madson

Rotisserie chicken can be a great easy meal idea when planning what is for dinner as well as an item that can be picked up at your local grocery store quickly. Besides having a roast chicken with a side dish here are a few ideas of what you can do with shredded chicken.

Add to a salad. If you are short on time buy bagged lettuce and vegetables already cut up. For a cheaper alternative buy lettuce, vegetables of choice, sliced ham, sliced cheese and your rotisserie chicken. Assemble your salad at home and serve with garlic bread if desired. Another option is a Caesar salad topped with shredded chicken.
