Tips
- You can substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts or chicken tenders.
- You can use various types of shredded cheese like Italian blend or provolone instead of mozzarella.
- Always puncture the bottom of the soup can before opening to help the soup come out easier.
- Spraying the bottom of the aluminum foil helps prevent the cheese from sticking to it.
- Use whatever broth you have on hand.
