Notes

Rotisserie Chicken. Use a Rotisserie chicken for speedy prep time. You can also use an 11x7 inch baking dish if you don't have a cast iron skillet to use.

Make Rice Ahead Of Time. To save more time, cook the rice ahead of time for a speedy dinner prep. You can also purchase rice that is cooked already that you simple heat up.
