Notes
Use leftover or rotisserie chicken to prepare this meal in 30 minutes. If you do not have cooked chicken, you can cook two boneless skinless chicken breasts at 375°F for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Cut into the thickest part to ensure they are fully cooked before shredding and adding to soup.
