Snappy Smothered Chicken begins with a rotisserie chicken cut into pieces and simmered in a delicious sauce.
• Snappy Smothered Chicken
Rotisserie chicken rates as one of our favorite shortcuts, and it's also
the focus of the cookbook Rotisserie Chickens to the Rescue (Hyperion
Books, $14.95). Written by Atlanta native Carla Fitzgerald Williams,
this book features loads of family-friendly meals, including Snappy
Smothered Chicken. We devoured every morsel of this recipe during
testing. Bet you'll have a clean plate too.
Ready To Go
• To really save time, ask the deli staff to cut up the chicken for you.
• When selecting a rotisserie chicken, the container should be hot to the touch.
• If you don't use the entire chicken, freeze leftovers in a zip-top freezer bag up to four months.
• Stock up on chickens when they are on sale. Freeze them, and keep on hand to jump-start supper.
• An average chicken yields 3 to 3½ cups meat.
• Add the drippings from the container to your recipe for extra flavor.
"Quick & Easy: Start With Rotisserie Chicken" is from the October 2007 issue of "Southern Living."
