It was time to use the leftover rotisserie chicken. Since it was already cooked, that eliminated one step of the cooking process. This dish is similar to chicken caccitore, but a much lighter version, which is perfect for the warmer, more spring-like weather we’ve been having.
Mediterranean Chicken and Vegetables
1-1 1/2 lbs cooked chicken, cut into chunks
cooked spaghetti or angel hair pasta
olive oil
1 zucchini, sliced
1-1 1/2 cups mushrooms, sliced
1 cup sliced peppers – I used the sweet peppers, but any kind will do
1 shallot, sliced thin
1 TBSP garlic
2 cans stewed tomatoes, with the juice
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 cup dry white wine
1 TBSP lemon juice
1 tsp each, dried oregano, basil, thyme, sage, and marjoram
salt & pepper to taste
Saute all the vegetables together, except the tomatoes, along with the dried herbs and salt & pepper in the olive oil.
When the vegetables are tender, add the wine and the tomatoes. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes.
Mix everything together well then add the chicken and incorporate into the mixture.
Once everything is combined, add the lemon juice and mix well again. Continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes.
Once everything is ready, serve it over the cooked pasta. I served it with some warmed bread and an olive oil dip and a light and fruity chardonnay. You can also serve it with a light red too if you prefer, but definitely NOT a heavy or bold red. Something light is definitely best with this light dish. This is light and zesty, full of vegetables, and full of flavor. Mangia!

Love recipes that utilize leftovers, especially now that we all can’t get to the store as much! After I cook rotisserie, I’ll also use the carcus for bone broth 🙂 So good!
