This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some chopped walnuts and it gave it a nice crunch.

This was a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still very flavorful. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.
