Tips
- If you don't have low sodium chicken broth, leave out the salt addition and salt to taste when serving.
- The hot sauce does not make the dish spicy; it adds an additional layer of flavor.
- Use 2% or whole milk for best results; avoid canned milk.
- If you find mozzarella stringy, use a different cheese or all cheddar instead.
- Start with 1/2 cup of milk and add more up to 1 cup if the sauce needs thinning.
