Main Ingredient - Chicken

Created by rsRick

This soup is made with store-bought broth and rotisserie chicken, which shortens the preparation time considerably. (If you usually make your soup from scratch, you may be surprised at how appealing this shortcut can be when you are rushed.)

PASTA AND CHICKEN GRATIN

Created by rsRick

Think macaroni and cheese — only ten times better. This sophisticated version combines the nuttiness of Gruyère with the intense flavor of parmesan, juicy poached chicken, and a crisp, cheesy crust. If you\'re short on time, feel free to use cooked rotisserie chickens (see cooks\' note, below). In that case, though, don\'t add salt to the sauce, as the stock made from the rotisserie chickens will already be salty.

Improv: Add sweet and crunchy accents by mixing a few chopped toasted pecans and some dried cranberries into the chicken salad. Instead of rolls, use crusty French bread or thick slices of sourdough bread.
