Notes
*A rotisserie chicken can be used or you can create your own. To do this, preheat the oven to 400° F. Rub two chicken breasts with oil and then season with salt and pepper. Bake chicken for 15 to 20 minutes until cooked through. Let cool enough to handle and then roughly shred with two forks into bite sized pieces.**Recipe adapted from Spark People Mama Leone's Soup
