Open in Pepper →One Chicken, A Week Of Dinners
A rotisserie chicken from the store is already cooked, already seasoned, and already the hardest part of dinner. Pull the meat off while it's still warm and you've got two or three cups of shredded chicken sitting in a bowl, waiting on you.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights when practice runs late, when the fridge looks empty, and when nobody wants to hear the word takeout again.
Every recipe here starts with that shredded chicken: Chicken Pot Pie Soup, chicken pot pie casserole, Mini Chicken Pot Pie Bites, Mexican Street Corn Chicken Enchiladas, Million Dollar Chicken Casserole, Ritz Cracker Chicken Casserole, and a Rotisserie Chicken Meal Prep that stretches one bird across the week.
Quick Tips
- 1
Shred it while warm
Pull the meat within 30 minutes of getting home — it comes off the bone in long pieces and you'll get about 3 cups from one bird.
- 2
Save the bones
Toss the carcass in a pot with water, an onion, and 2 carrots and simmer 2 hours for broth you can use in the pot pie soup.
- 3
Thin the canned soup
Cream of chicken straight from the can bakes up thick and pasty; stir in 1/2 cup of broth or milk before it goes in the dish.
- 4
Add crackers at the end
Sprinkle crushed Ritz or chips over the top for only the last 10 to 15 minutes so they brown instead of going soft.
