I’m a mom of 4 who loves shopping at Costco. Here are my favorite ways to use the $5 rotisserie chicken.

I’ve been a Costco executive member for 10 years, and as a mom of four, the store’s rotisserie chicken is my secret weapon.

From delicious salads to savory soups, here are my five favorite ways to feed my family using the $5 rotisserie chicken.

I shred the chicken and add it to a delicious quinoa and sweet potato salad.

I love adding rotisserie chicken to a quinoa and sweet potato salad recipe I found on Sprouted Kitchen.

The salad includes lots of nutritious ingredients like sweet potatoes, kale, quinoa, lentils, and vegetables. The rotisserie chicken also boosts the protein content, making this salad a well-rounded meal.

The chicken tastes great as part of a tasty tostada recipe.

Mixing the leftover chicken with canned green chiles, tomato paste, spices, and chicken broth gives it new life.

I like to pile that mixture on a crispy tortilla topped with pickled onions, avocado, and romaine lettuce. In less than 30 minutes, I have a dinner that makes my entire family happy.

A creamy chicken chili makes the perfect dinner on cold nights.

Cool fall nights call for chili, but when I don’t have time for my pot to sit on the stove all day, I make a quick, white-chicken version instead.

I like to use a recipe from The New York Times, which calls for an onion, a jalapeño pepper, garlic, cannellini beans, diced green chiles, chicken broth, corn kernels, and spices.

The prep is easy, and the result is creamy and delicious.

Costco’s chicken is the perfect addition to a classic Waldorf salad.

I like to use shredded chicken as the base for a Waldorf salad, which also includes lettuce, grapes, walnuts, apples, celery, and mayonnaise.

It tastes great on its own or piled onto crackers or bread.

I use the leftover chicken to make a broth.

Whenever I’m done with any of the above recipes, I throw the chicken carcass into the Crock-Pot with carrots, celery, onions, water, and spices. After a few hours, I have tons of delicious homemade chicken broth.

I usually make more than I can use at once, so I freeze the rest in sealable bags.
