Incredibly tasty! The sauce is beyond delicious! An easy supper for busy week nights. Begin with a store-bought rotisserie chicken and chicken stock, although if you have homemade chicken stock on hand, rather use it. So easy to make chicken stock โ I usually put two leftover rotisserie chickens in the crock-pot, cover with water completely, add salt, dried parsley, black pepper and an onion and perhaps a carrot and then I just leave it in the crock pot on low overnight. Strain and freeze, if not using it soon.
