PASTA SALAD FOR 2- – DOWNSIZED COOKING RECIPE

Protein Packed Pasta Salad is a great high protein food, delicious and good for you.

It is so cold and snowy here in WV that I could eat a warm bowl of homemade soup every day.  For the past 2 weeks my husband has been asking me to make a pasta salad.  I usually fixed this in the summer or when I need to take something to a covered dish event to feed a large crowd.  My original recipe serves about  10 people.

To please my husband, I made this for my downsized recipe this week.

1 ROTISSERE CHICKEN- 4 DOWNSIZED MEALS

I love all of the recipes that can be created from using 1 rotisserie chicken.  For this post on my downsized cooking feature, I want to share a few of those ideas using a chicken.

These rotissere  chickens are not only convenient, they are inexpensive.  I buy mine at Sam’s and they cost $4.99.  I only use the breast meat and this usually nets about 4 cups of meat.  My husband likes to eat the legs.    I bought this last weekend and made 4 different meals that were enough to feed 2 people.  If you prefer more meat in any of the dishes,  you can still make 3 of the 4 dishes. 

I serve these meals with a salad or vegetable.

When I go to Sam’s, I usually buy 2 of these chickens.  We eat part of it for supper that night and then I make another dish from the remaining meat.  I cut the meat off of the second one and put it in smaller freezer bags for future use.  I like to make chicken salad from the rotisserie chicken but when I do this, I make it while the meat is still warm so that the flavors blend better.  The possibilities of recipes are endless but I want to share some of the comfort foods that I made last weekend.

1 Rotissere Chicken can produce 4 downsized meals. Perfect for 2 people. Inexpensive and delicious.
