Notes

Serve warm, straight from the oven. Great with a salad or crusty bread. Leftovers can be cooled and stored in an airtight container for up to three days or frozen for later. Use leftover rotisserie chicken for convenience, or substitute chicken with black beans for a vegetarian option. Add herbs like thyme or oregano for extra flavor.
