Do I Have To Use Rotisserie Chicken?
No. You can use any cooked chicken. You'll need about 2 breasts worth of meat. So if you'd rather grill or bake your chicken, feel free to do that. I like rotisserie chicken because it is really tender and flavorful. And if I'm making my own bone broth - I can use the carcass to do that.
Can I Make This Dish On The Stove Top?
Absolutely. You can make this is a large stock pot and simmer until your veggies are tender - about 20 minutes.
