9 Ways to Use Leftover Rotisserie Chicken

Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich

Rotisserie chicken is one of my favorite quick, healthy, everyone will eat it meals. I serve it with whatever vegetable I have around and some starch - sweet potato fries, fingering potatoes, rice, quinoa, you name it. The only problem is, no one wants to eat the leftover chicken the next day. Somehow, no matter how I have tried to reheat it, I just can’t capture that warm, juicy taste it has when I first bring it home. So, I’ve come up with some uses that leave everyone happy. No waste and I get a second dinner out of it.
