Easy dinner ideas with rotisserie chicken perfect for busy families!
As moms we are always on the look out for quick dinner recipes for busy nights.
Coming up with new dinner ideas can be such a chore.
Especially if you have picky eaters!
The mom hack I use the most for an easy weeknight meal is using a good ol’ store bought rotisserie chicken.
You know what I am talking about, you know you buy them too.
Many of us love to grab a juicy rotisserie chicken right out of the deli of our local grocery store.
It is cooked to perfection, saving us from having to cook at home.
My grocery store has them for the cheap price of $4.99.
Honestly, I can’t buy a package of uncooked chicken that cheap. A package of raw chicken tenders usually sales for around $12.
So not only does a rotisserie chicken save time, but it saves money. Win-win!
What can I make with rotisserie chicken?
OK, so we all cheat a little and grab a rotisserie chicken for dinner now and then.
I don’t know about you, but my family has gotten bored with just having sliced rotisserie chicken with different sides.
So I had to be creative and come up with different recipes to use the rotisserie chicken in.
You know, so they think I’m making different meals (even though I am still using rotisserie chicken).
So I have scoured the internet looking for kid-friendly recipes with chicken.
You are in luck because I have found some GOOD ones!
Here are 25 recipes using store bought rotisserie chicken that will please the whole family!
So next time you are at the grocery store, grab that pre-made chicken because you now have a list of dinner ideas to make.
