This recipe was good- I actually ended up using leftover rotisserie chicken and it seemed so much easier and worked great! I would have liked for the recipe to have a salt measurement instead of saying “to taste”, because with the soups it was easily too salty. I debated putting in salt at all, and wish I hadn’t. But it’s an easy week night recipe!
