Today's fauxment is brought to you by... the rotisserie chicken

The rotisserie chicken, a great substitute for entertaining or a meal with your family, that will make it seem as if you slaved all day.  I bought a herb flavored rotisserie last week at Kroger for $3.99.  I manged to turn it into three different meals but the possibilities are endless.
1. chicken tacos
  • on night one, my husband got the chicken off the bone.  I cannot do that part, it makes me gag!
  • we set up a taco toppings bar with tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, red onion, guacamole, and chicken
  • I used a can of Bushes Grillin' Beans, fiesta style for a side
  • it was quick, easy, and delish!
2. chicken chili
  • I knew I would be working late Monday night so I took the left over black beans, some of the chicken, the taco seasoning packet from the taco kit I used earlier (since the meat was seasoned I didn't use it), another can of black beans, and a can of fire roasted tomatoes and dumped them all in the crockpot
  • the next day, we enjoyed another yummy dish
3. chicken salad 2-ways
  • For lunch on Wednesday, I took our left-over chicken and chopped it in the food processor
  • I seperated it into two bowls
  • In one bowl, I added chopped celery, halved grapes, a big spoonful of mayonnaise, and some chopped nuts
  • In another bowl, I added chopped pickles, a little mustard, mayonnaise, and celery
Chicken salad is great served with crackers, bread, crossiants or by itself.


These are just three ideas for a rotisserie chicken, what's yours?
