What can I make with leftover rotissere chicken?!


Question: I bought a rotissere chicken and have 90% of it left over, I want to make something with it, any suggestions?
I don't want to make pot pies, or chicken n dumplings...I do that often enough..What else can I do?

chicken salad.
i use the rotissere chicken, miracle whip, stove top stuffing mix, a chopped apple, chopped grapes (seedless), (maybe chopped celery if i want it extra crunchy), and pecans.

prepare the stuffing, then mix it with the chicken and extras. put enough miracle whip in it to make it creamy. it's awesome!

sometimes i leave the stuffing out. it's really good either way.

Tacos, just shread it then season it with cumon and hot sauce and stick in a taco.

enchiladas

Chicken tacos!!

Shred it and make quesadillas or barbecued chicken sandwiches.

Pot pies are good, though.

Thanks for the deuce.

Use red grapes (halved)

A little mayo - toss it all together. It's wonderful on warm wheat bread.
