Imagine. Eminent French chef Jacques Pepin likes the ubiquitous supermarket rotisserie chicken. PEPIN “Plump, brown, shiny, juicy, and eminently appetizing, these are good in pieces, served on romaine or Boston lettuce with my personal enhancement, a persillade, on top.”

Poulet Persillade

Separate the leaves of packaged, prewashed organic romaine or Boston lettuce. Spread them out on a large platter. Sprinkle with about 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Using kitchen shears, cut the rotisserie chicken into pieces, bones and all, and arrange on the salad. Spoon Sauce over chicken pieces. Serve.

SAUCE Heat 2 tb olive oil and tb butter in a skillet. When hot, add 2 tb chopped shallots and tb chopped garlic. Cook 10 seconds. Add about 3 tb coarsely chopped fresh parsley, cook 20-30 seconds longer; stir in the juice from chicken container.

Chicken Persillade

Liz! Thank you! I am amazed that he does, but then Julia Child liked McDonalds French Fries!

Senior Buying Tip! Walmart Rotissere Chicken that is not bought on its cooing day is cheaper in the cold case next day!

One chicken can feed 2 or 3 people for 3 days if you watch your portions, and you can use the remainder for stock!
