Can I Use Rotisserie Chicken for Broccoli Chicken and Cheese?
While I try to use chicken breast when I make this broccoli chicken and cheese recipe, there are times when I use rotisserie chicken as well. Using a rotisserie chicken saves time and makes it easier to make this recipe. If you are not trying to keep the points low, you can use the light and dark meat of the chicken.
