There’s just so many reasons to love rotisserie chicken; let me count the ways…
- 1. It’s SUPER moist and tender
- 2. It falls right off the bone
- 3. That crispy skin
- 4. IT’S READY TO EAT !

But the thing I love the most about a rotisserie bird is its versatility. When I bring a chicken home for dinner I usually cut off the drumsticks and thighs and serve it right away with some roasted veggies. After dinner when the rest off it has cooled off I strip all the remaining meat off - careful not to grab any tiny bones! I’ll use the rest for the next day or so in salads, soups, sandwiches, tacos or anything else because delicious chicken goes with everything.
What you'll need: A ciabatta roll, cut evenly crosswise Shredded chicken Pesto Thinly sliced tomatoes, 3 slices Fresh mozzarella, 3 slices 
Heat up your grill pan of choice. Generously spread pesto on both sides of the roll. Layer the chicken, cheese and tomato on one side. 
Grill the sandwich and use another heavy pan to press the sandwich. Flip and cook until the bread is lightly toasted and the cheese is visibly melted and oozing.
