If you’re a busy parent (or just love quick easy meals) you probably know the value of a rotisserie chicken. It feels like a home-cooked meal but you don’t have to actually cook (what could be better?). Plus it’s filling budget-friendly and generally a crowd-pleaser for all ages. Not to mention it’s incredibly versatile. Sure you can serve it straight from the package with your favorite veggies and starches for a quick easy balanced meal but it can also be used in dozens of other dishes to save you time. “Use it to make nutritious and veggie-packed grain bowls soups salads tacos and pasta dishes in a fraction of the time” recommends Beth Stark RDN LDN a registered dietitian based in Pennsylvania.
