    This could be lower in sodium by using either or a combination of Herb Ox SODIUM FREE broth boullions or 50% LESS lower sodium broth, also use the LOWER sodium 98% Fat Free condensed Cream of Chicken soup. It does look really good, will try. - 4/1/09

    I thought tis a great recipe. I used additional vegetables peas, carrots, mushrooms (canned) and Canned chickenbreast from Costco along with its broth as part of the broth. Also I usually fix a lot of rice & freeze it; so, I just used some of it for the rice & did not add water unless little neede - 2/11/17

    I'm glad yu liked it. I had not thought of rostiserie chicken. Many times I will cook the chicken breast the night before, then throw it together on the night I want it. In fact, guess what I'm planning on tonight?

    I made this last night for my family and everyone loved it. It is a bit salty but very satisfying. I added a little bit more rice, some parsley and some scallions to make it a bit more hearty. - 1/5/10

    This was so easy to make and DELICIOUS! I did double the chicken and the rice to make it a bit more hearty. I also made it with a long grain wild rice which is my favorite. I definitely will be making this again. - 6/8/09
