"There's a lot to love about rotisserie chicken - besides the fact that it takes cooking out of the equation, meaning all you need to do is resist the temptation to eat it with your fingers on your way home from the store. While you can serve this protein with your favorite sides, there are also many ways to repurpose rotisserie chicken and turn it into something new - and, if you can believe it, something much more flavorful, too."
"Simply add your shredded or ½-inch cubes of chicken to the recipe after you've cooked the rest of the hard ingredients, like the mirepoix. You won't need to keep the skin on the bird (and it makes for a tasty snack while you're cooking), so be sure to strip it off when you're slicing up the chicken. Since the chicken is already cooked, you don't want to heat it to the point of disintegration."
Rotisserie chicken serves as a convenient, flavorful substitute for cooked chicken in chicken and dumplings. Shred or cut the meat into ½-inch cubes and add it after cooking firm ingredients like mirepoix to prevent overcooking. Remove and discard the skin before slicing. Use store-bought gnocchi, biscuit dough, or homemade dumplings as desired and simmer until the dumplings are cooked through. Enhance flavor with herbs such as tarragon, thyme, and rosemary or with poultry seasoning. Increase creaminess and chicken flavor by substituting some heavy cream with cream of chicken soup.
