    I used this to go in a chicken and rice casserole. I omitted the chicken base and used chicken broth from where I boiled the chicken for the casserole in lieu of water. It brought down the sodium content quite a bit. I was surprised at how well it worked. Goodbye store bought. - 9/11/11

    That is a lot of fat for the ingredients you've listed - what's causing all the fat? - 1/12/10
