Health Benefits: This meal provides protein from the chicken, fiber from the veggies, and carbohydrates from the noodles. However, the cream of chicken soup and gravy mix make it a bit rich, so it's best enjoyed in moderation. You can make it lighter by using a lower-fat soup and gravy mix if desired!
