A couple recipes back, for my Favorite Chicken Dinner recipe, I said: “I have a roast chicken rule in my house…Never make just one! Any time I do chicken, I always do 2.” Well, if for any other reason, this is the recipe that makes left over roast chicken a commodity to be grateful for…it makes the best broth and soup! Next time you have leftovers try this simple recipe and I promise you’ll love it—so yummy!
