20 Easy Meals You Can Make Using Rotisserie or Leftover Chicken

These quick and easy meal ideas use rotisserie or leftover chicken to give you “real food” meals with the convenience of takeout. It’s not always easy to find recipes that I can whip up quickly (and have the energy to make) after a long day of work and, let’s face it, everything else going on in life.

We’ve purchased a rotisserie chicken a time or two but we’ve grown a bit tired of them.  So, I went in search of some ways to switch things up. These recipes start with a rotisserie chicken, cutting a lot of the work out and making it a simple weeknight meal. You can still serve your family good, hearty, homemade food but minimize the effort that goes into it. Win-win.

20 Simple Meals You Can Make with Rotisserie Chicken

No chicken available? Use your creativity – many of these recipes will work with leftover turkey, ham, or other meats. You can even used canned turkey or chicken for some of them. This is a great way to “repackage” canned or leftover meat into a meal the whole family will love.
