Buying Rotisserie chicken for lunch is so easy and time saving! Especially when you get a good deal on it (like Costco rotisserie chicken)… My kids only like to chicken thighs and drumsticks to eat, so most of the time we end up with a chicken breast leftover. It can be used in so many different ways! You can try in easy rotisserie chicken frittata for breakfast or chicken salad for lunch.
