Recipes Using Leftover Rotisserie Chicken

We love buying the big rotisserie chickens at the store and when we have leftover chicken I love to repurpose it and make a delicious brand new meal for my family. I also buy the containers with shredded chicken breast from our local H-E-B since it makes it so easy to come up with a quick meal when I’m in a hurry.
