Note
The original recipe text contained fragmented ingredient lists (e.g., "10 3/4 oz Can sodium reduced,condensed", "3/4 lb Skinless, boneless chicken"). These were inferred as standard condensed cream of chicken or celery soup and chicken breast halves cut into strips.
For best results, ensure the chicken is cut into bite-sized strips before cooking to ensure even cooking and easier mixing with the sauce.
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of milk or water to reach the desired consistency.
This recipe can be made dairy-free by substituting the cheddar cheese with a vegan cheese alternative and using a dairy-free condensed soup base if available.
