Recently, I was talking with a friend about meal planning she said “I just wish someone would show me how to take something like a chicken and use it in different ways for the week.” Well, a rotisserie chicken is an easy answer to get you started! Most grocery stores offer a rotisserie chicken in their delis. I like to buy ours at Sam’s Club (wish we had a Costco!) because they are so big I can get a few meals out of just one and the chicken is only $5!
Rotisserie Chicken to the Rescue! has simple recipes and also some I’d consider a little more “gourmet” but still easy to prepare. What I like about are the extras at the end of each recipes–things like Notes, Lighter Touch, Company’s Coming, Play It Again and Do-Ahead Tips. These tips provide options and recipe ideas for real families with many different tastes and time constraints. Written by a mom of young children who understands how important it is to get in and out of the kitchen quickly, it is definitely worth checking out!
