Notes

I suggest using Unsalted Cream of Chicken Soup in this dish to control the sodium. You can buy it by the case at Amazon: https://amzn.to/49n4uZE. Optional: Make in advance and refrigerate or freeze for later. Add several minutes to bake time if chilled. Thaw completely before baking if frozen.
