Another Rotisserie Chicken quick meal

What on earth did we all do before the handy invention of the grocery store rotisserie chicken? I'm sure people like my momma, or my granny would answer that in one of those drawn out...settle in with a cup of tea style stores. But for me...my story is simple...back in the day for me, was buying over priced precooked chicken breasts in the deli section that you just popped into the microwave! I remember loving them sooo much... for two reasons: 1. They impressed my man, filled his tummy and convinced him I was a great cook. All before I really had mastered my handy cooking skills. 2. They tasted like the yummy chicken they serve at the Dolly Parton Dixie Stampede in gatlinburg...which always brings back some warm and fuzzy feelings of childhood. But even before all that I know my momma would say: things back then sure took a lot of work and extra planning! Thats why I'm so grateful for these new fangled little pre-cooked...pre-seasoned...birdies!!! Because we all know I'm not into extra work or extra planning!

So here is yet another quick and tasty recipe that will fool everyone that you spent all day in the kitchen. So grab a rotisserie chicken, whip this up and in the mean time...go doll yourself up and everyone will wonder just how you do it! ;D

• Rotisserie Chicken-torn, chopped, or shredded-it's up to you! You can also slice and place on the top over the sauce for a different presentation. 
• Pasta of choice- I often use whole wheat linguine or rotini-anything will do. This is also great over minute rice cooked with italian herbs in it. 
• 2 Jars Creamy pasta sauce: tomato cream, alfredo, or make your own.
• To make your own sauce: Combine a cabernet marinara or a sauce with basil, in a small pot on the stove with small pours of heavy cream until it's a good creamy consistency. Do this on a low heat, so you don't scorch the sauce. (this sauce is good poured over breaded chicken breast and cheese for a super easy parmesan chicken)**note to self post that recipe soon!
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 cup of steamed peas, more or less if you like. (DO NOT use canned they are too mushy)
• 1 can of mushrooms, or fresh is you have more time. 
• ground pepper to taste
• Mrs. Dash italian herb, and the garlic herb too. Just a few sprinkles

Simmer all this in a larger pot on the stove, stirring frequently. Once heated throughout and the flavors have mingled spoon over your cooked pasta or rice. 

Serve with a side salad, asparagus, or steamed broccoli. Enjoy!

P.S. I know this is a rotiss recipe, but I do want to add if you have some leftover grilled chicken this is a wonderful recipe for that too. Do everything the same just add in your LO ckn in place of the rotiss!
