    Hi, Nikki,
    I absolutely love Penne pasta...and mushrooms...and garlic...and red peppers...and the list goes on and on. I like that you used Rotisserie chicken because I use Rotisserie chicken to make many of my meals because it is so easy to go pick one up at the grocery store. I am not much of a meat eater, but I like the white meat of the chicken in casseroles, soups, etc. My husband likes the dark meat, so he has a couple of meals of long legs and thighs, and there are a couple of cups of white meat left over. If I am not making a recipe with the white meat right away, I chop it up and freeze it in a FoodSaver bag. I do use it within a few days, however, to make soups, enchiladas, or pasta dishes. This pasta dish is a perfect recipe for me. Thanks for sharing!

    This looks & sounds great and by adding extra garlic to the pasta water it will even be super healthy for my diabetic husband (not that he has to know that).
