# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It transforms a store-bought rotisserie chicken into something that tastes entirely homemade and special
  • The entire meal comes together in one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum flavor
02 -
  • Don't be tempted to crowd your pan—if your vegetables are too piled up, they'll steam instead of getting those nice golden edges that add so much flavor
  • The smoked paprika is what makes this taste special, not just like chicken and vegetables—don't skip it or substitute regular paprika
03 -
  • Pick a rotisserie chicken that still feels heavy for its size—those tend to be the most moist and flavorful
  • If you want even deeper flavor, let the vegetables get a little charred before adding the chicken
