I don’t like to go grocery shopping but I always look for deals when I do.

I happened to pass by the deli section and found these rotisserie chickens marked down to $2.01! I’m not sure what they normally sell for but I grabbed two of them. One Traditional and one Lemon Pepper. I had also snagged a package of mini croissants on the markdown cart for less than $3.00.

Today I used the traditional chicken to make Super Easy Chicken Salad croissants. I served these with some cherry tomatoes on the side for a quick lunch.

Here is the recipe:

Super Easy Rotisserie Chicken Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 cooked rotisserie chicken (or use 2-3 cooked chicken breasts), shredded
• 1/3 c. mayo
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 stalks celery (optional)
• 1 boiled egg, chopped (optional)
• 2-3 T. Pickle relish (optional)
• onion, chopped (optional)
• raisins, chopped apples, chopped nuts or whatever other add-ins you might like (optional)

Directions:

Mix everything together in a bowl. Season to taste. Enjoy on a bed of lettuce, in a croissant, or on toast.

It was so simple and so good! You could use whatever seasoned chicken you prefer.

This is just one example of a quick, easy, and delicious meal that you can make on a budget. I spent less than $8.00 for the meal and it fed myself and 6 kids.
