Notes

To store, let it cool completely, then place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for later use. For added flavor, you can top servings with extra mozzarella cheese or fresh basil. For a vegetarian option, replace chicken with mushrooms and use vegetable broth.
