Spring ingredients, such as fingerling potatoes and sugar snap peas, transform rotisserie chicken into a pretty one-dish meal befitting the season. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled for maximum versatility. Leftovers make an easy and satisfying lunch.

If sugar snap peas are a springtime favorite, but to make this anytime of year, look for 6-ounce packages of fresh, sugar snap peas in the produce section of your supermarket year-round.
