Notes
This is a great "pantry" meal because you can keep everything on hand in the freezer or pantry, if you want to use fresh or frozen chicken, instead of a rotisserie chicken.
A few cans of canned chicken would also work well here. You can easily substitute 2 cups of cubed chicken breasts or thighs, or ground poultry. You will just need a few minutes longer to cook through.
