Wendy's Chicken Caesar Pita knock-off: Lettuce and diced chicken breast topped with shredded Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing rolled up in a flour tortilla or pita bread.

I think that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take the carcass, the bones, the gelatin, etc and cook it all down in some canned broth with carrot/celery/onion to make the base. I just finished up the last chicken they bought me...made some quesadillas with it. Those make a hot, light, tasty dinner.
You were ready my mind, as you can see!! I've done the same thing when making chicken & gravy with it...boil dat carcass to make the base for the gravy.
I like having "real" chicken stock in the freezer. I used the last of mine yesterday and had to supplement with Swanson's. The soup still turned out well.
I use onion, celery, carrot, and carcass... but I boil it all in water, strain, skim, freeze. I usually make green chile chicken enchiladas with leftover RC, but it's handy for so many things.
Not long after I moved here, my small church did a 7 course Christmas meal for 50 people. I made Chicken Divan. That's when I bought my small chest freezer (and a supply of carryout soup containers), because I made stock with all that chicken I cooked.
When I would go shopping after work, I usually did not feel like cooking since my evening was already half-gone. Rotisserie chickens have been such a great addition for stores to offer...most of dinner is already done for you, and it's so much better than fast food.
I haven't had this, but it looks really good in the picture. This is the "Loaded Sweet Potato" from Cracker Barrel...
