Tips & Variations

• Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, you can use cream of mushroom soup or a homemade white sauce. For a lighter option, consider using rotini whole wheat pasta.
• Optional Variations: Add cooked bacon or diced potatoes for extra flavor and texture. Swap in different vegetables like broccoli or green beans to customize to your taste.
• Storage or Reheating Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of chicken broth or milk to loosen the sauce if it has thickened.
