Notes
Substitute chicken thighs for juicier meat.
Add vegetables (carrots, celery, peas) during the last hour for extra nutrition.
Use gluten-free noodles to make the dish gluten-free.
Substitute half-and-half or milk for some broth for a lighter version.
Add cayenne or smoked paprika for mild heat.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 3 days; do not freeze.
Reheat gently with a splash of broth or water to loosen sauce.
