Rotisserie Chicken

Somedays you just feel like picking up a cheap pizza or going through a drive through. Instead, consider picking up a rotisserie chicken and a loaf of whole wheat bread. It's just about as quick but much more satisfying.

Now it may seem silly to have a "recipe" for a rotisserie chicken, but people often think in black and white when it comes to meals. If you don't have the time/energy/money for a more labor intensive dinner, why not just throw it all out the window? I like this recipe because it is a great middle ground. Also, the left overs go great in chicken burritos the next day.

Time: 5-10 minutes
Makes 6 servings

• Rotissery chicken (3 lbs = ~24 oz meat)
• 6-12 slices whole wheat bread (see Alpine valley bread post for best prices)
• 6 cups non-starchy vegetables (green beans, normandy vegetable blend, etc)

1. Carve up chicken. Expect about 1 cup of meat for every pound of chicken. 1 serving is about 4 oz or 1/2 cup. Serve with a heaping cup of vegetables and 1-2 slices of whole wheat bread. Butter/honey optional.
