FAQs

Can I use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken?

Yes! If you have leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken, you can skip the first step of cooking the chicken breast. Simply shred the cooked chicken and add it to the soup when you add the noodles and vegetables.

Can I use different noodles?

Absolutely! You can use any type of noodles you like, such as egg noodles, udon, or even spaghetti. Just adjust the cooking time based on the noodle type to ensure they are fully cooked.
