Expert Tips

Chicken contains vitamin B6, also called pyridoxine. Vitamin B6 is important for digesting proteins, plus it helps to keep hair and nerves healthy.

Substituting brown rice for white rice is an excellent way to boost whole grains. Brown rice supplies four times more magnesium than white rice. Magnesium plays an essential role in keeping hearts beating normally.

Mushroom lovers can use reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup instead of the chicken soup, and add a can of sliced mushrooms with the broccoli.

Very good! I've already made it twice and definitely plan on making it again. Only change I made was I added some garlic salt to give it a little bit more flavor.

If you use cream of mushroom soup instead it adds a lot more flavor! I hope that helps!

Add paprika! Just sprinkle it over the chicken. It makes a big difference.
