Tips for Perfect Angel Chicken

Use Thighs: For extra flavor, substitute chicken thighs for chicken breasts.
Add Veggies: Stir in mushrooms or spinach during the last 30 minutes of cooking for added texture and nutrients.
Make It Lighter: Use reduced-fat cream cheese and soups for a lighter version.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
