Dinner Is Done – Rotisserie-Chicken Recipe Ideas

I love a rotisserie chicken so much that I make it a point to pick one up every week.  Whatever we don’t eat that day I wrap up and bring it to work for lunch.  Here are two of my favorite recipes.  Hope you try ,  change around and enjoy them as much as we do.

Buffalo-Chicken Pizza

Preheat oven to 425

Lightly coat a prepared whole-wheat pizza crust with your favorite buffalo wing sauce (or BBQ sauce), leaving a 1/2 inch margin around the edges, top with a couple of handfuls of chopped rotisserie chicken (1 1/2 cups), 1 cup (4oz) of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese. Bake according to pizza crust package directions.  Serve with tossed salad.

 

Chicken Lo-Mein Soup

Boil 6 cups water , add 2 packages chicken flavored ramen-noodle soup mix and 2 cups chopped rotisserie chicken.  Simmer 3 minutes or until noodles are tender.  Add a few handfuls of baby spinach leaves and cook until they wilt. Serve with chow-mein noodles for extra crunch and a few dashes or soy sauce or hot sauce.

Easy Chicken Nachos

Prehat oven to 400

Microwave 1 cup canned low-fat refried beans with just enough water so it’s spreadable.  Arrange tortilla chips on a large foil-lined baking sheet, top chips with prepared beans, 2 cups of chicken, 2 cups (8 oz) shredded Mexican cheese blend, 1/2 cup diced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup chopped green onions.  Bake for 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.  Serve with salsa, guacamole (store-bought or homemade) and low-fat sour cream.

This is great one for  when the kids are sleeping over.
