Helpful Tips & Easy Swaps

• Short on time? Use rotisserie chicken to make this even faster.
• Extra veggies welcome: Peas, corn, or green beans are great additions.
• Make it heartier: Add an extra ½ cup of noodles or a splash of cream at the end.
• Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The noodles may soak up broth, so add a little extra when reheating.
