sam's club rotesserie chicken & dressing
I created this recipe using a Sam's Club cold Rotisserie chicken that I had bought earlier, and Bagged Salad Croutons. Chicken and Dressing stems from my Southern Roots and despite the high temperatures OUTSIDE IT WAS NICE AND COOL ON THE INSIDE, AND I MADE ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEALS ON YESTERDAY. It was so tasty and good, I served it with Country Style Green Beans W Potatoes Onion and Bacon, and had Cranberry Sauce on the side. The chicken was crispy on the outside & moist and tender on the inside. What a comforting meal idea on a hot summers day. I loved it, and so did my husband.

How To Make sam's club rotesserie chicken & dressing
-
Step 1Using the pre cooked Rotisserie Chicken and the bagged croutons made this a quick yet tasty meal idea. A large bag of croutons usually COST A LOT LESS than a bag of stuffing, and you can add your own spices to it. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Step 2Chop celery, bell pepper, onions and mince garlic.
-
Step 3Add butter and veggies to large skillet and sauté until veggies are tender and translucent. In the meantime cut the chicken into 8 pieces with a sharp knife.( I will post a picture of how this is done next time) I forgot to take the pictures of this as I went along. SORRY
-
Step 4Measure out croutons and add to a large bowl.
-
Step 5Add about 1 1/2 cups of chicken broth over croutons to soften up just a bit. Add the sautéed vegetables. Stir to mix.
-
Step 6Empty each of the cans of soup into a medium size bowl.NOTE I AM USING THE OFF BRAND OF SOUPS, BECAUSE USUALLY WHEN MIXED WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS IT DOESN'T MATTER AS MUCH ABOUT THE BRAND & I can save some money.
-
Step 7Add the 4 eggs and beat to blend the mixture together. THIS MIXTURE IS GOING TO MAKE YOUR STUFFING/DRESSING NICE AND MOIST, & NOT DRY.
-
Step 8Now pour soup mixture over the croutons, add the sage, then stir to blend together. I didn't need the extra can of soup I showed in the picture above.
-
Step 9Spray a 9X13X2 inch pan with cooking spray. Pour in the stuffing/dressing mixture. THEN PLACE the chicken parts on top of the dressing. Spray chicken pieces with non stick cooking spray,[I USED BUTTER FLAVORED COOKING SPRAY] THIS HELPS TO CRISP UP THE OUTER SKIN OF THE CHICKEN AS IT BAKES.
-
Step 10BAKE IN PREHEATED 350 DEGREE F. OVEN FOR 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR, or until stuffing is hot and bubbly and chicken is heated through.
-
Step 11Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy.
-
Step 12Instead of adding the whole pieces of chicken on top of the stuffing this time, I DEBONED THE CHICKEN and added all of the big chunky pieces inside the stuffing, and it worked out just great. This is a picture of what it looked like.
