What to do with Costco rotisserie chicken meat?

[Anonymous]

I bought a package of their rotisserie chicken meat the other day and realize I need to use it or freeze it. Other than the following, what would you make with it? Thanks!

Chicken quesadillas/tacos
Chicken chili
Chicken salad

Chicken tortilla soup.

I don’t know about Costco chicken specifically, but assuming it’s like any other rotisserie chicken I’d think you could:

Make sandwiches
Top a green salad with it
Shred and mix with barbecue sauce
Serve with pasta and alfredo or pesto sauce
make a chicken and rice casserole
Mix with a Knorr rice/pasta and sauce packet and vegetables of your choice
(ex. cheddar broccoli packet with frozen broccoli, chicken packet with mushrooms)

I'd do chicken and zucchini enchiladas. Shred some zucchini and squeeze the water out, then sautee with onion and garlic. Add the chicken and some seasonings. Then, roll into tortillas with a handful of cheese. Top with enchilada sauce!

Chicken buffalo dip
Chicken pot pie
Chicken noodle soup
Chicken with alfredo and angel hair

These are great ideas - ty!

Nothing special about the chicken - just its quantity!

I always buy it when I sign up to bring soup to a volunteer event. It’s great in soups that call for cooked chicken. The Greek lemon and spinach one is my favorite to make.

I use the extra meat for chicken enchiladas. I shred it and put it in a plastic baggie. I freeze it if I am not using it promptly. The chicken unfreezes very well.

I add rotisserie to ramen to make a healthier soup. I add carrots and celery too.

DS' request is always a Chipotle night. We mix the chicken with some canned chipotle, make pico, cilantro and lime rice, and beans.

With the chickens our nearby Costco serves? Nothing

I find them weirdly fatty.

I should try a different Costco.
