How-To Make Easy Homemade Chicken Soup

I often find myself scrambling to make something for dinner.  I am NOT a planner 😉 I so wish I were.  I wish I were one of those amazingly organize people who had their meals planned ahead for a month, a week, or heck, even a day.  I was having one of those days recently where I really didn't know what I was going to make for dinner and then this recipe came to me (it literally did via e-mail!).  I couldn't wait to try it.  It was something I could make fairly quickly that was delicious, filling and even had veggies.

I went to my local Giant Eagle and bought Knorr Rice sides, some chicken breasts, and zucchini and I already had every else I needed on hand.

Because I have a family of 5 (4 males who eat everything in SIGHT) I doubled this recipe and they ate it all.
