rotisserie chicken amor

07.24.14

I have a rotisserie chicken amor because of the endless possiblities!  I love that they are so readily available at most grocery stores nowadays. Unless you’re a rock star and have your very own rotisserie at home–then I bow down to ya!

But little ‘ol me just high tails it to the local grocer when I’m in a bind or too lazy to cook an entire meal from scratch. There are so many options on what you can do with this stinkin’ little bird!!!  No joke!

I’ve done my favorite chicken tortilla soup, pasta dishes, salads, the list goes on and on.  The best thing is to just get creative and use the ingredients you and your family like.  But my recommendation…kick it into high gear and think out of the box when cooking.  You’ll be surprised what you can come up with and what you’ve been missing out on.

You just go pick you out the best lookin’ chick and then start cooking!

One of my favorite recent creations and my christened name for ’em… “chalupas tropicanas“!

Why???  Well they’re loaded with all the wonderful summer fruits out there and aside from being pleasin’ to the eye as well as the tummy, they’re pretty darn fab, refreshing and dang easy!  Now why wouldn’t you want to try that?

Pardon me for makin’ your life a little easier and helping you “wow” your peeps! 😉

Check out these rotisserie tips and the steps for this fantabulous, refreshing easy summer meal.


Tips~

  • you can buy your bird, shred it, bag it, label it and freeze it for quick future meals (especially great if they’re on sale)
  • if you find your bird’s a little dried out, place it in a covered dish and douse it with a little chicken broth, heat slightly and the juices are absorbed into the little birdie meat
  • you can also add your favorite spices and additional broth before chillin’ the chick

CHALUPAS TROPICANAS with Salsa Verano

  • 2 c. shredded rotisserie chicken
  • corn tortillas (fried or baked crisp) or store bought (yuck) if you’re really desperate

Salsa Ingredients

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 mango
  • 5-7 fresh strawberries
  • 1/2 c. cilantro
  • 1-2 T. hemp (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 t. chili powder

(my little Alaska chopper was a gift from a sweet friend- I think of her whenever I use it.)

Dice up all the goodies and toss with oil and chili powder. Chill until ready to use.

When your tortillas are ready—just sprinkle some of the chicken on top and load up with the fresh salsa.  A nice addition to this would be a side of cilantro lime basmati!

Another quick use– any awesome salad creation like this…

My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me ye My little 3 year old grandson was upset with me yesterday. 
.
All because he decided to take his blankie home 2 days before and when we layed down to take a nap yesterday he was upset.  Upset he didn’t have his blankie and upset at Mimzy for not getting it for him. I hate to see children unhappy and that little face of his with tears rolling down made me sadder than he was.  I gave him 3 other blankets that didn’t replace his #1 blankie.  When he woke up he was still mad at me! 
.
It was the 1st and hopefully last time he’s ever mad at me, cause I sure didn’t like that and I didn’t even cause the problem to begin with. All I know is that we got that blankie back over here to avoid this happening again. The clock may be ticking and he’s growing full speed ahead but I don’t want to see that little man mad at his Mimzy if I can help it!

Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees. . And I’ll take it Cloudy Friday and 28 degrees.
.
And I’ll take it! Yes, I could’ve easily stayed curled up in bed for a few more hours but it’s my favorite day of the week and there’s playing with the grands to be done!
.
Definitely more important than sleeping in! Or is it? 🤣😂
