Here's about all you'll need!
Add chicken [fresh or frozen], 3 boxes of chicken broth and all seasonings to your pot. Boil for 1 hour or longer if frozen. Reserve 1 box of broth for finish if needed.
Pull chicken breasts from boiling pot. Allow chicken to cool slightly and shread it finely by hand. Discard anything yucky.
Remove Bay Leaf from pot and add 1 can Campbells Cream Of Chicken Soup and 2 tablespoons butter to broth. Mix well with whisk. Then, add shreadded chicken back in simmering pot. By this time your sauce will have boiled down quite a bit and thickened. You can thin it out slowly, if desired, with your 4th box of chicken broth if you'd like to create a Chicken & Dumpling dish or Chicken Noodle Soup.
Small chop celery, onions and carrots. Add all to pot. Add green chilies as well. Taste test sauce at this point and decide if you'd like more pepper.
Boil covered until vegetables have fully softened. Your carrots will be a great indicator. Usually about 25 minutes. Stir constantly as your ingredients will stick to the bottom of your pot. Add corn at this point, if desired.
If making Chicken & Dumplings, you can use Pillsbury Canned Biscuits for extreme ease! If so, cut all canned biscuits into quarters [fours] and separate them. Then, place them while still chilled, into your [boiling] pot for the last 10 minutes at a high boil. Know you'll need to use your 4th box of chicken broth and maybe even water to accommodate your dumplings.
If making noodles, boil seperate from sauce, as per manufactures directions. Usually about 12 minutes with a dash of salt and olive oil. Add drained noodles to your sauce. Know you'll need to use your 4th box of chicken broth and maybe even water to accommodate your noodles.
If making rice, boil seperate from sauce, as per manufactures directions.
Serve hot. Enjoy!
