Notes

Salami - The salami will make this dish salty. This recipe has been tested with both low sodium chicken broth and regular chicken broth. If you are ok with salty you can use regular chicken brother, although it tastes better with the low-sodium variety.
Rotisserie Chicken - I purchase my rotisserie chicken at Costco and drain the fat at the bottom of the container to use for later use for soups and stews. Not all rotisseries come with the fat/juices.
Chicken Fat/Juices - If you don't have the juices from the chicken you can substitute with chicken broth.
