- Let rest 5 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
Notes
To save time, use rotisserie chicken or pre-cooked frozen chicken. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 15–20 minutes or in the microwave in 1-minute bursts, adding a splash of milk if needed.
