Variations & Tips

For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a few dashes of hot sauce to the soup mixture. If you prefer a creamier dish, stir in 4 ounces of cream cheese about 30 minutes before serving. You can also swap out the cream of chicken soup for cream of mushroom or cream of celery for a different flavor profile. For a complete meal, toss in some baby carrots or diced potatoes to cook along with the chicken.
