I bought the chicken on Thursday and it is now Saturday. I just made a pasta dish with it, and my general rule of thumb is that once cooked meats (poultry, beef, pork) are good for another two days. (Possibly a little conservative I know.) I am thrown by the rotisserie chicken though because it was cooked on Thursday. How many more days do you think I can eat the pasta dish, if any?

I guarantee two is good. Usually 5-6 days are okay for cooked meats that are stored in refrigeration. The main concern then is quality not safety. You have a good (yes conservative) rule so relax.
While taking a course in Microbiology we were to bring in a food item. I decided to bring in BBQ beef. I even let it sit out for 3 hours before placing in the refer. After plating it on media in the lab and a proper time and heat it had zero ( 0 ) cell growth.
One reason for this is because of course the heat killed the bacteria that was on it. Also the moisture of the meat was greatly reduced and bacteria and fungi need water in order to survive.
Relax your food is good for 2 more days.

Cooked chicken lasts 4 days in the refrigerator. Then throw it out.
