What is a baked rotisserie chicken and where can I purchase one?

This delectable twenty minute Chicken Mushroom Pasta is a cinch to bring together utilizing already baked rotisserie chicken.  These perfectly baked rotisseries chickens are available in so many stores now. Competition is a beautiful thing.  Costco’s baked chickens are absolutely delicious and priced so well that I do not think I could buy it and cook it for that price.  They are also available at all of my local grocery stores and Walmarts.

  • Prep Time: 5
  • Cook Time: 20
  • Total Time: 25 minutes

  • Category: Main Meal Chicken
  • Method: Stove top
  • Cuisine: American
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 medium onion chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cloves garlic minced

  • 2 cups chopped COOKED rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cooked pasta or rice

Instructions

  1. In large skillet over medium high heat melt butter. Stay close as you do not want the butter to burn. As soon as it melts add onions and mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are lightly browned; about 5-7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add basil, oregano, onion powder and garlic; cook for 1 minute stirring continuously. Add wine and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Add cream and Worcestershire sauce and simmer to desired thickness; about 10 minutes. Make sure you keep the heat on a low simmer as cream can burn.
  2. Stir in cooked chicken and 1 tablespoon chopped parsley. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve over cooked pasta or rice and garnish with remaining parsley.

Notes

You can substitute 1/4 cup of chicken broth for the wine but cook for several minutes so it reduces. Do not add pasta or rice till you are ready to serve as they have a way of soaking up the sauce.
