Notes
Prepping pre-cooked chicken is super easy, all you need are boneless, skinless chicken breasts and your choice of chicken stock or water. Combine into a heavy stock pot and bring to a simmer until fully cooked I let mine simmer about 45 minutes and the chicken falls apart. Another option is a crock pot. Cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165(degrees) I use a digital thermometer like this.
If you want to speed things up on this recipe steam the cauliflower rice in the bag or pre-cook if using fresh.
This soup reheats well! Placing leftovers in separate containers makes this recipe ideal for meal prep! Using Glass storage containers like this allows for you to safely heat and eat (extra dishes to wash, no thanks!)
I use Green Giant Pre-Riced Frozen Cauliflower, love it - soooo Easy!
