In our house a store bought Rotisserie Chicken is always a two day meal. The leftover chicken is usually cut up, covered with a cream soup and mushrooms then served over rice. Today a co-worker gave me a recipe that added a twist and it was an easy, breezy dinner that the family enjoyed.
Ingredients:
Rotisserie Chicken ~ Package of Frozen Broccoli ~ Can of Cream of Mushroom/Chicken soup ~ 3 tablespoons of mayo ~ 3 tablespoons of lemon or lime juice ~ shredded cheese
I didn’t have lemon juice so I used lime
Added 3 tablespoons of mayo to a can of cream of chicken soup
Added 3 tablespoons of lime juice
Mixed thoroughly
Steamed the broccoli according to package then layered in casserole dish
Cut up leftover chicken over top of broccoli
Poured mayo mixture over chicken and broccoli
I grated Pepper Jack cheese because I didn’t have a bag of shredded cheddar cheese
Placed in a pre-heated oven set on 350~ and cooked for 30 mins. Last 5 mins turned oven to broil to give it a crispy top
Served over Jasmine rice
Dinner is served

In my house crock pot cooking isn’t just for fall and winter months, it’s actually more convenient and a real time saver in the warmer months. After work the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven or stove especially when it’s hot like it was yesterday. I would prefer to walk into the house to a fully prepared meal smelling good! Using the crock pot gives me more time to sit on the “back 40” or take a walk around the neighborhood.
These were the ingredients for Monday night’s dinner.
1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables
2-3 chicken breasts
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can of cream of chicken soup
1 jar of mushrooms
Pam Cooking Spray
You can use any cream soups
Spray Crock Pot with Pam or any cooking spray
Put in frozen veggies
Top with chicken breasts or thighs
I cut up an onion and added the mushrooms
You can use dried onions if you don’t have fresh
Sprinkled a dash of seasoning and dried thyme
Covered chicken & mushrooms with soups
Cooked on low for 7 hours
If desired, add a cup of uncooked white/brown rice when you get home
Poured in a cup of long grain rice
Turned off crock pot, stirred in rice, recovered and let sit for 30 mins while I changed my clothes
Dinner is served - I sprinkled mine with cayenne pepper
