The chicken can dress up a creamy, cheesy pasta dish. I'm still on the baked-feta-pasta trend from a few years ago. I prefer using a block of Lifeway Farmer soft cheese instead of feta because it's got a milder flavor and softer texture. Plus, it gets even meltier and creamier in the oven. After preheating my oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, I cook my cheese and fresh cherry tomatoes or whole canned tomatoes in a small baking dish. I leave them in the oven until the tomatoes burst and become sweet and saucy and the cheese is just turning golden on top. Then, I toss in cooked pasta and my diced or shredded rotisserie chicken.
Chilled chicken-salad sandwiches are an easy lunch. The white meat from the Costco rotisserie chicken is easy to chop into cubes for a classic creamy chicken salad. I toss the meat with mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt and add any salty or crunchy bits I have in the fridge, such as diced pickles or pepperoncini, celery, or bell peppers. I also like to add something sweet, like sliced grapes or chopped dried fruit. Then, I serve the salad on toasted sandwich bread, crackers, or sturdy romaine-lettuce cups.
I toss the chicken in salsa, then add it to burrito bowls. There's nothing like a build-you-own-bowl dinner for a low-lift meal that makes everyone happy. First, I'll make a batch of rice or another grain.
