When it comes to an easy dinner, two words come to mind – CROCKPOT and LEFTOVERS (shame on you if you thought I was going to say “drive” and “thru”…although no judgment, we’ve all been there…several times…a week…). So for an easy dinner to have the ability to save on waste, and save on money by using up last night’s dinner leftovers, you can completely reinvent your dish to serve up the family the next night. Guilty of always buying a rotisserie chicken when I browse the aisles at Costco (I mean, who can beat a pre-cooked dinner for that price?!) I’m often left with half a chicken to use up…or a whole one depending on how much I succumb to the children’s pleas for $1.50 hotdogs after checkout. Pulling my weekday evenings back together, this recipe is exactly what we busy folk need. EASY. It was hella delicious and, don’t laugh…but the leftovers from THIS, I made into a soup the next night (just added a carton of chicken stock and let it come to a simmer. Leftovers of leftovers. It’s like the dry shampoo of cooking). For now, lets just start here, because that leftover rotisserie chicken is meant for SO much more than another chicken salad sandwich.
