Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the soup mixture for a few hours before baking. You can substitute the chicken with turkey or even tofu for a vegetarian option. If you want a bit of crunch, add some sautéed onions or mushrooms on top before baking, similar to the approach in Spiced Chicken With Fruit.
