Shredded Chicken Salad Recipe with Cucumber, Carrot, Daikon, Sesame and Chilli Oil. leftover rotisserie chicken recipes. Copyright © 2022 Terence Carter / Grantourismo. All Rights Reserved.

Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Recipes for Quick Shortcut Dinners from Chicken Soups to Salads

Our collection of leftover rotisserie chicken recipes include quick and easy recipes for shortcut dinners for everything from chicken soups to chicken salads. Use fingers or forks to pull the meat from your rotisserie chicken, skip the recipe steps for poaching or roasting chicken, and use your rotisserie chicken meat instead. The carcass can be used to make chicken stock or use store-bought stock or stock cubes to save more time. 

This compilation of leftover rotisserie chicken recipes includes some of our most popular chicken recipes – from comforting chicken soup recipes to light yet filling chicken salad recipes. While many of our recipes below call for roasting or poaching chicken, simply skip that stage and use your leftover rotisserie chicken meat instead. Too easy.

We always had rotisserie chickens in the fridge when I was in my late teens, so I’m something of an expert when it comes to getting creative with leftover roast chicken meat. My parents, who had owned a French restaurant when I was a child, had a beachside takeaway when I was in my final years of high school and one of their specialties was rotisserie chickens.

And they were the most sublime rotisserie chickens, with crispy brown skin, super juicy meat and amazingly tasty stuffing. My parents worked long hours to make the business a success, so I’d call in after school, do a short shift to give one of them a break, then be sent home with a hot chicken and roast potatoes to feed my little sister and myself.

That rotisserie chicken meat and the roast potatoes went into everything, from sandwiches and bread rolls and pita bread to salads and canned soups (I know). We ate so many rotisserie chickens that after a year I was feeding them to our cat who had kittens in our garage.

Surprisingly, I still love a good rotisserie chicken. Australian supermarkets do some of the best and they’re very affordable. Terence is going to share a homemade rotisserie chicken recipe here soon. In the meantime, here are some recipes for using your leftover store-bought rotisserie chicken for short-cut dinners.

But before I tell you about our leftover rotisserie chicken recipes, I have a favour to ask. Grantourismo is reader-funded.

Leftover Rotisserie Chicken Recipes for Quick Shortcut Dinners from Chicken Soups to Chicken Salads

Our best leftover rotisserie chicken recipes include recipes for comforting chicken soups, shredded chicken salads, Southeast Asian rice porridges, and Tex-Mex tacos and more. Do bookmark this page as we’ll be adding more recipes over coming weeks. 

Chicken and Potato Soup Recipe 

This easy chicken and potato soup recipe makes a homemade potato and chicken soup from scratch that is comforting and healing. It’s the kind of soup to make if you’re unwell, a little down or in need of hugs, and it’s one of our best leftover rotisserie chicken recipes.

Because while the base of this warming winter soup recipe is an easy chicken stock made from the poached chicken breasts that go into the soup, you can just use store-bought stock, chicken bouillon or chicken stock cubes, pull apart your leftover rotisserie chicken pieces and add those to the broth near the end.

It’s a simple, hearty soup that’s subtly seasoned but given texture at the end with crunchy croutons and crispy fried shallots and is enlivened by fresh fragrant dill – or any aromatic herb of your choosing, as it’s also incredibly versatile. 

Chicken and Potato Soup Recipe for a Comforting Soup that Starts with an Easy Stock

 

Green Minestrone Soup Recipe

This green minestrone soup recipe makes an easy, versatile, year-round soup that starts out as a light fresh spring soup the first day you make it, but leave it overnight and it evolves into a warming, hearty autumn or winter broth.

This is a wonderful soup with shredded chicken and you can easily use your leftover rotisserie chicken meat in this broth; large or small chopped pieces, up to you.

Vegetables can be substituted according to the season but use frozen peas and frozen beans in autumn and you can pretend it’s spring! Just don’t forget the potatoes.

I leave the soup to simmer until the potatoes are soft and starting to break apart, the butter beans are rich and creamy, and the Parmigiano Reggiano cheese rind is melting and oozing. So comforting. 

Green Minestrone Soup Recipe that Changes Like the Seasons from a Light Spring Soup to Hearty Autumn Broth

 

Old-Fashioned Vegetable Barley Soup Recipe 

This easy vegetable barley soup recipe makes a versatile clean-out-the-fridge soup that’s deliciously filling, deeply flavourful, and super affordable, and it’s another of our best leftover rotisserie chicken recipes.

The recipe was inspired by a soup my Australian grandmother used to make to use up an abundant harvest from my grandfather’s backyard veggie garden, and while the veggies would vary depending on the season, Nanna would always include potatoes.

You can follow my recipe or use whatever you have in the fridge that’s looking wilted, shrivelled and forlorn for the ultimate clean-out-your-veggie-drawer broth made for these economically challenging times.

Creamy Corn Chowder Recipe with Potatoes, Parmesan and Croutons

My corn chowder recipe makes a creamy potato corn chowder with Parmigiano Reggiano, scallions and croutons. Add those chicken pieces you’ve pulled from the carcass and it becomes another of our best leftover rotisserie chicken recipes.

The chowder is ever so lightly spiced with a little curry powder, turmeric and paprika – so gently spiced it just adds warmth. A rind of Parmigiano Reggiano melts in the chowder adding a kick of umami.

The deliciously dense creamy corn soup is traditionally thickened with milk or cream, however, I use potatoes to give it a creamy consistency, and crunchy homemade croutons to add texture. Chicken pieces are the perfect addition.

Thai Rice Soup Recipe for Khao Tom Gai

Our easy Thai rice soup recipe with chicken and soft-boiled eggs makes khao tom gai, a beloved single-bowl meal in Thailand eaten any time of day, whether for breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, or supper. It’s another one of our best leftover rotisserie chicken recipes.

While I make a stock from the water the chicken is poached in then simmer leftover rice in that aromatic stock, you could make a stock from your rotisserie chicken carcass or use a store-bought stock or stock cubes.

Instead of topping the rice soup with the shredded poached chicken, use your rotisserie chicken pieces, as well as soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks, a sprinkle of sliced scallions and crispy fried onions, and sliced chillies to add heat.

Thai Rice Soup Recipe with Poached Chicken and Soft Boiled Eggs for Khao Tom Gai

 

Burmese Chicken Coconut Soup Recipe for Ohn No Khao Swe

This ohn no khao swe recipe for Myanmar’s Burmese chicken coconut noodle soup is one of the most popular chicken recipes on the site and another of our best rotisserie chicken recipes. 

Our ohn no khao swe recipe will make you one of Myanmar’s most-loved soups alongside mohinga. Terence’s rendition combines the best of the many bowls we slurped on our travels, starting with the first ohn no khao swe we savoured at Yangon’s grand old hotel, The Strand.

Ohn no khao swe consists of egg noodles in an aromatic chicken soup with a coconut milk base, and chicken drumsticks, although we use poached chicken breasts in this recipe, and you can use rotisserie chicken pieces. Garnish with crunchy fried noodles, boiled eggs, shallots, fried garlic, dried chilli, lime, and coriander (cilantro).

Ohn No Khao Swe Recipe for Burmese Chicken Coconut Noodle Soup

 

Cambodian Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe for Kuy Teav

This traditional Cambodian kuy teav recipe makes one of Cambodia’s most popular breakfast noodle soups called kuy teav sach moan. It’s made in the home but also eaten at markets, roadside kuy teav stalls and simple eateries.

We use succulent poached chicken breasts in this recipe, but anything goes in Cambodia, where brown chicken meat is favoured, so you can use whatever chicken meat you have left on your rotisserie chicken leftovers. 

This chicken soup is in the restrained style you’d typically find in a simple local eatery or market or street food stall in Cambodia. A good clear flavourful stock is the hallmark of this soup rather than a bowl abundant with ingredients.

Classic Cambodian Kuy Teav Recipe for Cambodia’s Favourite Chicken Noodle Soup

 

Bang Bang Chicken Salad Recipe 

Our bang bang chicken salad recipe is based on one of our all-time favourite Chinese dishes, the classic Sichuan bang bang chicken typically served as one of an array of starters at Sichuanese restaurants.

It was while testing poached chicken breast recipes that the idea of transforming the delightfully tongue-tingling, spice-laden bang bang chicken into a lighter yet still filling salad came to us, and it’s been on repeat for lunch and summer dinners ever since.

But of course you can use rotisserie chicken pieces instead. Crisp lettuce, crunchy cucumbers and fresh coriander really lighten it up, turning it into a salad as addictively delicious as its mother dish.

It’s a cinch to make, too, and comes together quickly, even more quickly if you use pieces of your leftover rotisserie chicken, breasts, thighs, skin and all. 

Bang Bang Chicken Salad Recipe for a Fresh Light Take on the Spicy Sichuan Speciality

Shredded Chicken Salad Recipe with Cucumber, Carrot and Daikon

This shredded chicken salad recipe with cucumber, carrot, daikon, and sesame chilli oil makes a deliciously light yet filling salad that’s perfect for a casual lunch or dinner. Like so many of our original dishes, this shredded chicken salad recipe was the result of an experiment with leftovers.

We had a little Sichuan sesame sauce left over from a bang bang chicken salad we’d had for dinner the previous night, plus loads of grated carrot and daikon from the char siu pork burger recipe with Asian slaw we’d just photographed and published.

We had shredded poached chicken breasts in the fridge (but you can use your leftover rotisserie chicken instead), plenty of crunchy cucumbers, and sprigs of fresh coriander I’d picked from our balcony herb garden. I threw it all in a bowl, added chilli oil  to what was left of the sesame sauce, drizzled that over the lot, dished it up, and sprinkled on some sesame seeds. So good. 

Shredded Chicken Salad Recipe with Cucumber, Carrot, Daikon, and Sesame Chilli Oil

 

Vietnamese Chicken Salad Recipe

This classic Vietnamese chicken salad recipe will make you a fantastic year-round salad and another of our best rotisserie chicken recipes. 

It’s fresh, fragrant, textured, and flavourful, not only courtesy of the ingredients, but that quintessential Southeast Asian salad dressing of fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, and chilli. We make it with pulled poached chicken but you can use rotisserie chicken pieces. 

In summer, you can eat it just as it is, as a one-bowl meal or with other salads, and maybe slices of crusty baguette. In winter, you can serve it with warm chicken alongside a warm Vietnamese rice porridge or hot Vietnamese soup.

Vietnamese Chicken Salad Recipe with Crunchy Cabbage and Crispy Fried Shallots

 

Lao Shredded Chicken Salad Recipe for Yum Gai Tom

Our Lao shredded chicken salad recipe with fragrant herbs, fish sauce and lime juice makes yum gai tom, based on a recipe by the late Phia Sing, head chef of the Royal Palace in Luang Prabang, from the book Traditional Recipes of Laos.

It’s made with crunchy cucumbers, fresh coriander, dill and mint, and poached chicken breast, but it’s another shredded chicken salad for which you can easily exchange the poached chicken with leftover rotisserie chicken pieces.

Phia Sing used a whole chicken, in fact, along with two ripe tomatoes, which he dipped in hot water for a minute, peeled, halved, sliced lengthways and discarded the core and seeds. I’ve skipped the tomatoes, but you could certainly add those.

The palace chef also used shallots and garlic, which he placed in the embers of a charcoal fire (I will give that a go one day and report back), and only used coriander. I’ve added fresh mint and fresh dill, which are found in a lot of Lao salads, and are so refreshing.

Lao Shredded Chicken Salad Recipe with Fragrant Herbs, Fish Sauce and Lime for Yum Gai Tom

 

Mexican Chicken Tinga Taco Recipe

Another of our best chicken recipes, this easy Mexican chicken tinga taco recipe makes warm soft flour tortillas with delicious Mexican chicken tinga – or tinga de pollo – grilled corn charred on a griddle pan, zingy pickled purple shallots and pickled purple cabbage, sprinkled with crumbly Mexican cotija and aromatic coriander.

Chicken tinga, which is essentially comprised of shredded chicken breast (but for which you can also use pulled rotisserie chicken) has a soft texture, so we felt our chicken tinga recipe needed a little crunch, hence we use corn. 

The Mexican chicken tinga is easy to make. You just divide the chicken tinga and corn between the tacos, then garnish with the quick pickles, Mexican cotija (or another similarly white cheese) and fresh coriander, and serve with dishes of pickles, cotija cheese, lime quarters, coriander, and hot sauces.

Mexican Chicken Tinga Taco Recipe with Grilled Corn, Pickled Shallots and Purple Cabbage

 

Cambodian Chicken Rice Soup Recipe for Borbor Sach Moan

Our Cambodian chicken rice soup recipe makes borbor sach moan, Cambodia’s chicken congee, and it’s another of our best rotisserie chicken recipes. 

This nourishing dish is a classic Cambodian-Chinese comfort food favourite and while this recipe uses chicken breasts poached in stock, here in Cambodia, you’ll also find bowls of borbor with pork, meatballs, fish, dried fish, seafood, snails, and frog legs. So there’s definitely no problem with you using cooked rotisserie chicken pieces.

A range of condiments are also sprinkled, splashed and doused on Cambodian congee, including fish sauce, dried fish floss, chilli oil, chilli flakes, pickles, and fresh aromatic herbs. Borbor doesn’t get as much attention as Cambodian breakfast noodle soups, such as kuy teav and nom banh chok, but it’s just as delicious.

Cambodian Chicken Rice Porridge Recipe for Borbor Sach Moan, Cambodia’s Congee

 

Mexican Chilaquiles with Shredded Chicken Recipe

This easy Mexican chilaquiles recipe with fried eggs, shredded chicken and green salsa makes chilaquiles verdes, and it’s another one of our best rotisserie chicken recipes.

A pre-Hispanic Aztec dish, chilaquiles has long been a popular Mexican breakfast dish, but one that is eaten at any time of day.

Filling and comforting, it makes for a fantastic lunch or dinner, while my Mexican friends used to tuck into late-night bowls after an evening spent bar-hopping and clubbing, swearing it was the best hangover cure.

To make your shredded chicken for chilaquiles, you can use all and any part of your leftover rotisserie chicken.

Mexican Chilaquiles Recipe with Fried Eggs, Shredded Chicken and Green Salsa for Chilaquiles Verdes

 

Shredded Chicken Tacos Recipe with Avocado and Vegan Chilli 

Our shredded chicken tacos recipe with smashed avocado, vegan chilli and Mexican pickled onions and pickled cabbage makes a fantastic filling lunch or light dinner that’s a cinch to make and can be assembled quickly.

It’s another one of our best rotisserie chicken recipes as you can really use any parts of your rotisserie chicken.

Plan ahead and prepare the chilli in advance and it means no cooking – aside from warming up the tortillas in a pan. Pop a fried egg on top for a breakfast taco.

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

If you’re looking for tips to visiting Angkor, Siem Reap and Cambodia, just ask us a question in the comments below or check Grantourismo as we’ve got loads of info on our site. Click through to the link in the bio and explore our Cambodia guide or search for ‘Angkor’.

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bún chả, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bún chả. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bún chả recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bún chả meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bún thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bún bò Nam Bộ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bộ=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs. 

Xíu mại= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bún chả patties. Xíu mại remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bánh tằm xíu mại. Bánh tằm=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bún chả giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to “partner” with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
