Rotisserie Chicken

Always with the best of intentions, I will usually buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store when I shop over the weekend.  I have grand plans, sandwiches for me during the week, chicken quesadillas for the boys, or making use of it in tacos.

Sometimes the chicken gets used, sometimes it doesn't.  Here's a post from BuzzFeed with 32 ways to use that rotisserie chicken.  My favorite recipe of the lot is below.  Although Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Soup would be a really, really, close second.
