Also, in the fall I like to make a chicken corn chowder, but the way I do it all fresh is really time consuming. I found a dried corn chowder mix I bought, and I’m going to do it with rotisserie chicken and zing it up some. We’ll see on that.

While Mrs. T makes a chicken salad with some of the rotisserie chicken, it’s not quite as involved, but it tastes so much better than the canned chicken we get. Might have to look into the enchiladas!
