Rotisserie Chicken Burrito with a Fresno-Lime Sauce

3/23/2025

0 Comments

 
The rotisserie chicken is a glorious offering from our modern American grocery stores, and it remains a tool of the old-poor to eat a little bit better than they would otherwise. This burrito is inspired by the California style burritos all over the internet these days to use some of that chicken meat a little more creatively for a single meal. 

The fresno-lime sauce really takes this to another level, providing moisture, tang, and heat to an otherwise weakly seasoned chicken. Enjoy this sauce on top of a plate of nachos or on tacos later in the week if you’re so inclined. It is one of my favorite things that I have developed in my home kitchen this week.

The original rendition of this recipe uses leftover cooked bell peppers and onions that I prepared earlier in the week to use across several meals that week, so the below recipe includes a step to cook your peppers and onions together to achieve an exact match to what I did that day.

Picture
Buffalo chicken has a vice grip on the Midwest as if we invented it ourselves. We know we didn’t, of course, but we love it. As a result, we Buffalo anything that has chicken in it or on it. This single serve Buffalo Chicken Bacon Ranch mac and cheese is my personal love letter to the iconic, mildly spicy flavor that attends every football party and celebration I have ever attended.

This is yet another meal best accomplished from a rotisserie chicken, and its creation can be partnered with any of my other rotisserie chicken meals to add some variety to your weekly menu.

Chicken Noodle Soup

1/6/2025

0 Comments

 
With cold weather finally settling in up here in Northeast Wisconsin, it’s definitely soup season. What better way to contribute to our ongoing rotisserie chicken series than a classic chicken noodle soup. Rich, flavorful, and comforting, you can’t go wrong with this one on a cold winter’s night.

This recipe comes in for 0.72 per serving, which is half the price of a can of campbell’s chicken noodle soup. Talk about a bargain! By utilizing the bones from the rotisserie chicken to make ten cups of chicken broth with other ingredients in the recipe, you can save yourself a lot of money.  Freezing instructions are included in the recipe card to help you save some of this for those sick days where you need an easy, accessible option.
