* Try deli-roasted chicken for a time saver idea. Chicken may also be cubed and stir-fried in a little butter until cooked through. Another idea is to stew the chicken by placing in saucepan, cover with water, add an onion, carrot, garlic clove and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until chicken is cooked through and tender. Canned chicken also works well for this recipe.
NOTE: As written this recipe has 16 grams of fat per serving. To lower fat further try using a reduced fat soup and a reduced fat cheddar cheese.
