I am all about making life easier for myself when I can! Meals and cooking are one of those things that have to be done daily and can just take a lot of time! One of the ways I have found to save time with dinner, is to maximize my use of the Costco roasted chicken.

Now to be clear, you can use any roasted chicken. But I find that Costco has the best price and flavor!

Here are the top ten things you can do with a roasted chicken:

1. Serve with whatever vegetables you have and garlic bread
2. BBQ chicken quesadillas: chop up chicken, heat in a pan and add BBQ sauce. Lay out a tortilla, sprinkle with grated cheese, add BBQ chicken, a bit more cheese, another tortilla then put in pan and cook both sides.
3. Chicken vegetable soup
4. Chicken pot pie that I make in my cast iron skillet
5. Chicken salad sandwiches
6. Chicken noodle casserole
7. On top of a fresh salad with craisins, parmesan cheese and nuts
8. Chicken spaghetti
9. Layered chicken tortilla lasagna
10. Chicken pizza - best with pesto or a garlic Alfredo sauce, peppers, tomatoes and cheese

And once you have taken all of the meat off, don't forget to save the bones to make broth!
