Recipe Tips
If you don’t have a nonstick skillet, increase oil to 2 tablespoons to help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.If you want to add more flavor to this dish, try adding 1/2 teaspoon of dried and crushed oregano leaves to the soup when adding it to the skillet.
If peas aren’t your thing, sliced mushrooms, red peppers or asparagus make a great substitution here.
