Don't let the list of ingredients scare you--it really is easy and so good!

Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this recipe much tastier than using plain chicken breasts. The combination of dark meat and light meat makes it scrumptious! Don't shred or cut the meat too small, or the finished dish won't look very appealing.
