Substitutions

If you’re short on time and you don’t have a can of cream of chicken soup, sour cream works as a substitute! It won’t have a chicken flavor, but one cup of sour cream can replace a can of cream of chicken soup.

Cream of mushroom soup can also be used instead of cream of chicken.

You can use cooked leftover chicken or pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Skip steps 5 and 6 then add the cooked chicken during step 8.
