I have made these for years and they turn out great every time! So much better than using canned soup!!! If I’m in a hurry I use a rotisserie chicken and even add some chicken taco seasoning to it while in the skillet. I also have used chicken soup base ( the paste jar kind) to make the chicken broth. I also have split the recipe in half for just my husband and I . Delicious!
