"All it takes is some shredded chicken, a quick cream sauce made from a good can of condensed soup (like Campbell's Cream of Chicken) plus a bit of sour cream, and of course, poppy seeds, and you've got a comforting classic that can bring everyone to the table, then send them off satisfied. But rather than making it from scratch, if you've got a rotisserie chicken leftover from the other night's dinner, the good news is you can have"
"Typically, it'll be on the salty side, so if you have a habit of giving the dish a sprinkle of salt to season, you may want to be a bit more conservative with it. As such, we recommend holding off until you get to taste it, then you can salt to adjust. Texturally, since it's leftover, the chicken can taste a bit dry in your casserole since it's the second time it's cooked - a lot of the original juice won't be there."
Leftover rotisserie chicken can be shredded and reheated to create a poppy seed chicken casserole that requires minimal prep time. A cream sauce using condensed soup and sour cream combines with poppy seeds to form the casserole base. Rotisserie chicken often carries added seasoning and salt, so salt should be adjusted after tasting. Leftover chicken can be drier from prior cooking; adding extra sauce compensates for lost juices. Using rotisserie chicken speeds assembly, stretches a whole bird into additional meals, and reduces food waste while preserving comforting flavors.
