Chicken Pillows

 This is a recipe that is familiar to a lot of people, and is a major comfort food to me. It's another great way to use a rotisserie chicken. I like to freeze bags of shredded rotisserie chicken to have on hand for quick dinners. You can also used canned chicken.

4 T. butter
1/8 t. pepper
4-8 oz. cream cheese, I like to use a whole package
2 c. shredded chicken
2 stalks celery, optional
1/2 c. diced onions
favorite roll recipe or 2 cans crescent rolls

Roll out dough into large circle and cut into triangles, pizza style. Fill with 1/4 c. filling. Roll up and tuck in ends; brush tops with melted butter. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.

Gravy:
1 can cream of chicken soup
Make according to directions on the can. Serve over rolls. 

Chicken Caesar Wraps

 We love this recipe and have been making it for years. It's a great way to use your rotisserie chicken. If you want to make it even quicker, use store-bought Caesar dressing.

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, from about 1 large lemon
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 1 romaine lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
  • tortillas or wraps
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and garlic. Whisk in the olive oil slowly until thoroughly incorporated.
  • In a large bowl, toss the chicken and lettuce with the dressing. Divide the chicken/lettuce mixture evenly among the tortillas or wraps. Roll and secure with a toothpick, if desired. Serve.
