My Favorite Cooking Shortcut

While we love to cook from scratch, that’s not always practical for busy families. So we are all about using shortcuts when you need them. Our favorite kitchen shortcut? A rotisserie chicken. Ain’t no shame in our rotisserie chicken game!

Sometimes we eat the chicken as-is, but the magic really comes from turning it into any number of chicken dinners. Chicken salads, quesadillas, grain bowls, pastas, soups…you’ll never get bored!
