Rotisserie chicken ideas are my favorite. These Easy Chicken Alfredo Sliders are no exception. This dinner is so easy your kids can make it for you! Just have that rotisserie chicken deboned and you just mix, assemble, and bake!

Sliders make a great easy dinner or easy appetizer! When I see those Hawaiian rolls, my heart just gets happy! Aren’t they the best? I like both the original sweet ones and the savory too. I buy them often for my kids to make sandwiches for school too!

What makes this recipe so easy?

A rotisserie chicken is one of the quickest ways to get dinner done in a hurry. It’s perfect to throw into pastas like this one and make sliders like these too!

What do you need to make these Easy Chicken Alfredo Sliders?

I love easy recipes like these Easy Homemade Chicken Taco Taquitos!! And I especially love recipes packed with flavor and only a few ingredients! That’s exactly what busy families need!

What ingredients do you need to make these taquitos?

• Cooked chicken – I use Rotisserie chicken because it has so much flavor and relatively cheap. I usually just use the breasts for this recipe.
• sour cream
• cream cheese
• taco seasoning
• shreded colby jack cheese
• corn tortillas

Tips for making these chicken taquitos:

• To get those tortillas easy to bend and roll without cracking, they need to be warm. I usually run a small stack through the microwave for about 30 seconds before filling and rolling. If they start to crack, heat them up again.
• I brush the finished rolled tortillas with a little vegetable oil. You can also spray them with cooking oil spray.
• I use my food processor to really mix the chicken well, but you can use a hand mixer too.

I’ve made these Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin Tacos on repeat lately.  They make the easiest weeknight meal, and they are so good and healthy too!  We are really into the uncooked tortillas lately.  My kids like to cook them up really quick.  You can find these with all the other tortillas.

I top mine with a fresh pico and some freshly shredded Colby Jack.  You can make this really low carb if you want with a lettuce wrap or use a low carb tortilla. 

What do you need to make these tacos?

• pork tenderloin
  I love to use a pork tenderloin.  It cooks up beautifully in the slow cooker too!
• Creole seasoning
  Seasoned salt works great too.
• taco seasoning packet
• jarred jalapeno juice
• fresh jalapeno
• water
• shredded cheese
  I like to use Colby Jack
• tortillas
  Use your favorite tortilla here.  We like to buy the “uncooked” ones found with the other tortillas.  You can also use low carb tortillas or corn tortillas.  I even like a lettuce wrap too!
• Toppings:  shredded lettuce, sour cream, avocado
• Pico de Gallo:  I make my own with roma tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, and salt

There is nothing better than a healthy skinny recipe that feels like a cheat!  This Taco Spaghetti Squash is definitely one of those recipes, but it is low in carbs and keto-friendly.  Love that!

 How Do You Roast Spaghetti Squash?

Roasting spaghetti squash is super simple!  Make sure to allow about 45 minutes to an hour before dinner to do this.  

1. Cut your squash in half length-wise and scoop out the seeds.
2. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Roast flesh side down at 400 degrees for about 40 minutes.
4. Remove from oven and use a fork to scrap and stir to make your spaghetti squash “noodles.”

What else do you need to make Taco Spaghetti Squash?

• Spaghetti squash – 1 medium-sized, makes about 5 cups of squash
• Olive oil
• Lean Ground beef – I like to use a 93/7 for this.  You can also substitute with ground turkey or ground chicken for even less calories.
• Spices:  salt, pepper, creole seasoning, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder
• Chili-Ready Diced Tomatoes – Try to keep these 5 grams or less carbohydrates.  You can use regular diced tomatoes as well.
• tomato sauce – This helps add more of a sauce to the recipe.
• shredded colby jack cheese – I like to shred my own because it makes it creamier.
• Toppings:  tomatoes, green onions, cilantro

This Creamy Chicken Pasta Bake has all the makings of an easy recipe for busy weeknights, especially since it uses rotisserie chicken (and we all know how much we love that shortcut).

I can’t tell you how many times this creamy pasta has saved dinner at my house when I needed something cozy without the extra effort. Think layers of cheesy penne pasta topped with a creamy, flavorful sauce filled with chopped chicken pasta goodness in every bite.

It’s simple, satisfying, and one I come back to again and again. And if you’re loving shortcut pasta recipes like this, be sure to check out my Chicken Tortellini Pasta Bake and my Copycat Spicy Chicken Romano Pasta recipe.

2. Mix your warm pasta with the cheeses, parsley, and salt.
3. Layer it up, top with cheese, and bake!
