Yesterday I showed you a recipe that required 2 cups of rotisserie chicken. Since 1 rotisserie chicken offers a lot more meat than just 2 cups, I'm going to show you 2 more great recipes that will help you use the leftover meat.
I'm going to start with this perfectly-peanuty Asian Chicken Salad. When my husband first tried it he told me it tasted like a salad from Panera. Since we both love Panera I interpreted that to mean, this recipe is a keeper!

The leftovers
Typically, when you buy romaine hearts they come in a package of 3, so you may end up with leftover romaine lettuce. Don't worry though, because I have an amazing caesar salad recipe that I'll share with you later in the week, which perfectly utilizes the remaining romaine hearts. Additionally, since you only need 1/2 Nappa cabbage I'll also be sharing a coleslaw recipe that will help pickup the leftover cabbage. Stay tuned!
