For a richer flavor, use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and roast them before shredding. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets, bell peppers, or zucchini. If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can make a quick roux with butter and flour, then add milk and sautéed mushrooms. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
