- Can I use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking chicken from scratch?
Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a total time-saver. Just shred it up and you’re good to go. No extra cooking, no extra effort—just magic.
- Do I need to thaw frozen vegetables before adding them?
Nope! Toss them in straight from the freezer. They’ll cook perfectly in the oven, keeping things easy and fuss-free.
- Can I make my own Bisquick mix instead of using store-bought?
Yes! If you don’t have Bisquick, mix 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and 2 tbsp butter or shortening. Boom—homemade baking mix in minutes!
- Can I halve the recipe for a smaller batch?
You sure can! Just use an 8×8-inch baking dish and cut all the ingredients in half. Same magic, just in a smaller package.
- How do I store leftovers, and how long will they last?
Let it cool, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, pop it in the oven for best results or zap it in the microwave if you’re in a hurry.
