You could also set out a toppings bar with crumbled cooked bacon, chopped parsley, chopped chives, green peas and mint, mini marshmallows, and toasted pecans if some family members prefer the serve-yourself option. Hint: You can use leftover rotisserie chicken from last night's meal to make the topping.
