Instructions
 

For the Chicken Filling:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tomatoes, onion, chipotle pepper, garlic, chicken bouillon, and the white part of the scallion and cook until the vegetables soften about 15 minutes.
  • Stir in the green parts of the scallions, cilantro, black pepper, oregano, and paprika. Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring gently, until just combined. Turn off the heat and set aside to cool.

For the Savory Cake Batter:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom and side of a 13× 11-inch (4 quarts) rectangular pyrex pan; dust with flour, then tap out the excess; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, and baking powder; set aside. In the blender jar, blend the eggs, milk, oil, pepper, and salt. Blend until completely smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl and, using a hand whisk, gently and gradually stir the flour mixture until just combined. Don’t over mix!
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread the chicken filling evenly on top. Gradually pour the rest of the cake batter over the filling, making sure you distribute evenly to cover the filling completely. Use a spoon to spread the batter if needed. Dot it with cream cheese,
  • Bake the savory rotisserie chicken cake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove the Savory Rotisserie Chicken cake from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Cut the Savory Rotisserie Chicken cake into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!

Make-Ahead
The Savory Rotisserie Chicken Cake can be made ahead of time, making it an excellent option for meal prep or a party. You can prepare the chicken filling and the cake batter separately and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before assembling and baking. You can also freeze the cake before baking it for up to a month. When ready to serve, thaw the cake in the fridge overnight and bake it according to the instructions. If you are making it ahead for a party or gathering, you can slice it into wedges and store it in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Reheat the slices in the oven or microwave before serving. 
How to Freeze
The Savory Rotisserie Chicken Cake can also be frozen for later use. To freeze, wrap the assembled and unbaked cake tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. Alternatively, you can slice the cake into portions and wrap each individually. Make sure to label the wrapped cake with the date and the contents. The cake can be stored in the freezer for up to a month.
When ready to use, thaw the cake in the fridge overnight, and bake it according to the instructions. Freezing the chicken cake allows you to make a large batch and save leftovers for another day or to have on hand for a quick and easy meal.
