This is our second dinner made from the rotisserie chicken I bought at Costco. Now that we have used both breasts, the rest of the chicken will be used for lunches, solo dinners, and chicken stock.

We used instant mashed potatoes to keep from heating up the kitchen. Surprisingly John really likes these potatoes. I prefer my regular preparation of peeling, boiling, and mashing the potatoes with some milk and butter but I am willing to take this short cut. I wouldn’t use them for Thanksgiving dinner but instant mashed potatoes for a ho-hum weeknight dinner is fine.

I cooked the broccoli in lemon juice and butter and it turned some of the florets yellow. It must have been some chemical reaction between the broccoli and the acidic lemon juice. I will not do that again!
