We are always looking for tasty, easy one dish meals that don't require very much prep time at all. Our family, like a whole lot of others, use rotisserie chicken as a super time saver. They taste great and are not expensive. Another of my favorite time savers is microwave mashed potatoes. This recipe uses both for easy week night dinner. You can also use leftover mashed potatoes, of course. Remember, this is supposed to be an easy, stress free meal. Add more or less or substitute the ingredients, depending on what you have or like.
