Easy "Leftover Chicken" Cacciatore!

This recipe came about on a night I had 2 cups of leftover shredded rotisserie chicken and no idea what to make for dinner. I had never made Chicken Cacciatore before, but knew that it consisted of pasta, red sauce and chicken, all of which I had on hand. So I made up an easy recipe for a "Like" Chicken Cacciatore recipe. You can add more or less of any of the ingredients I have listed below, but these were the measurements and basic ingredients I chose to put in to make it feel like the real cacciatore! Hope you try it and like it!
