Roasted chicken with cucumber ranch dressing
Rotisserie chicken from the market makes this a true weeknight dinner: you dress it with the ranch, roast a sheet pan of summer vegetables to catch all the drippings, and build a salad. The dressing does the work while everything else cooks.

To buy
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken
- 1 pound zucchini and summer squash
From your shelf
- 1 bottle Cucumber ranch & feta salad dressing
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss 1 pound of chopped zucchini and summer squash with 2 tablespoons of oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan.
- Halve the rotisserie chicken, place skin-side up on the pan among the vegetables, and roast for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and browning.
- While the vegetables roast, dress a handful of greens with a few tablespoons of the cucumber ranch dressing in two bowls.
- When the vegetables are done, divide the chicken and roasted vegetables between the bowls over the salad, drizzle everything with more dressing, and finish with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Note Swap the rotisserie chicken for four thick slices of grilled halloumi or a can of white beans for vegetarian nights. Leftovers keep three days cold as a salad. Serve with crusty bread to soak up the dressing pooling in the pan.
