"A fast and easy recipe that is chock full of chicken, rice, and veggies. And in my opinion, it can't be beat for taste, even by more labor intensive soups. I modeled it after a soup my husband and I loved from a sandwich shop where he used to work."

Very good! And, even though my hubby thinks I cook too many chicken meals, he said he likes it! One of my 9 year old's favorites! Instead of cooking rice, I used 2 pouches of Uncle Ben's Brown & Wild Rice (w/o preheating). It made cooking that much faster!

Very tasty and easy too! This was a great use of leftover chicken. Everyone in my family gave it a thumbs up! Next time I will use slightly less broth to make it a little thicker and creamier.
