A great no-think supper that is hot and hearty! The changes I made was using only 3 chicken breasts and also adding half a pkg of frozen mixed veggies when adding the chicken to the soup/stew -- very thick and very good! We did need to add a lot of pepper to our bowls - but that is just individual taste preference. Comfort food at its best! Thanks for sharing!
