5 Quick and Easy Dinner Ideas using a Rotisserie Chicken
I don’t really consider these recipes because in a pinch you need something quick and simple…no long list of ingredients or rigid instructions.

BBQ Chicken
Shred the rotisserie chicken, stir in BBQ sauce and serve on buns.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Spread softened cream cheese on a pizza crust, top with 1/2 cup bbq sauce, top with 8 oz. of shredded Colby/Jack cheese, shred the rotisserie chicken and stir in 2 tablespoons BBQ sauce, scatter on pizza crust and top with diced onion. The pizza crust can be a simple pita or start with a store bought ball of pizza dough.
Chicken Caesar Salad
Add chicken to a Caesar Salad or any salad to make it a meal.
Chicken Quesadillas
Chicken and cheese stuffed in a tortilla…it couldn’t be easier!
Chicken Tacos
Shred, stir in salsa and ranch dressing to taste. Stuff your tacos!

Money Saving Tip #1 – Costco sells rotisserie chickens for less than $5, and they’re about twice the size of the ones you find in the grocery.

Money Saving Tip #2 – Our Kroger marks the rotisserie chickens to half price after 7:30, so it’s worth checking the policy at your local store. You can always stock up, chop up and freeze!
