I like to cook. I like chicken. I like to make things easy... ok, I like to CHEAT. Seriously though, if I can buy an entire rotisserie chicken from Sam's Club, or my grocery store for $4.95 why shouldn't I shorten my prep list and time? Let's face it, most places these days you can buy a fresh rotisserie chicken for the same price, or less, as buying a whole chicken, or worse, boneless skinless chicken breasts.
So, this is my experiment into how many real recipes I can make using store bought rotisserie chicken. Wish my husband's stomach good luck!

Chicken & Yellow Rice Recipe

This was the first recipe I ever made using a rotisserie chicken. Honestly the recipe is so much more flavorful made with a rotisserie chicken than with either a whole chicken or just chicken breasts I had to cook myself.

Ingredients
1 traditional or plain rotisserie chicken, meat removed from bones
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
1 package Vigo yellow rice (or similar brand)

Directions
Dump all ingredients in a large pot, I prefer a nonstick one myself. Add water as required by instructions on rice package. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover. Set timer for 20 minutes.

*hint... check rice at 10 minute mark, and 15 minute mark, sometimes I need to add an extra 1/2 cup of water.
