I’m a mom of 4 who loves shopping at Costco. Here are my favorite ways to use the $5 rotisserie chicken.

I love adding rotisserie chicken to a quinoa and sweet potato salad recipe I found on Sprouted Kitchen.

The salad includes lots of nutritious ingredients like sweet potatoes, kale, quinoa, lentils, and vegetables. The rotisserie chicken also boosts the protein content, making this salad a well-rounded meal.

Mixing the leftover chicken with canned green chiles, tomato paste, spices, and chicken broth gives it new life.

I like to pile that mixture on a crispy tortilla topped with pickled onions, avocado, and romaine lettuce. In less than 30 minutes, I have a dinner that makes my entire family happy.

Cool fall nights call for chili, but when I don’t have time for my pot to sit on the stove all day, I make a quick, white-chicken version instead.

I like to use a recipe from The New York Times, which calls for an onion, a jalapeño pepper, garlic, cannellini beans, diced green chiles, chicken broth, corn kernels, and spices.

The prep is easy, and the result is creamy and delicious.

I like to use shredded chicken as the base for a Waldorf salad, which also includes lettuce, grapes, walnuts, apples, celery, and mayonnaise.

It tastes great on its own or piled onto crackers or bread.

Whenever I’m done with any of the above recipes, I throw the chicken carcass into the Crock-Pot with carrots, celery, onions, water, and spices. After a few hours, I have tons of delicious homemade chicken broth.

I usually make more than I can use at once, so I freeze the rest in sealable bags.
