Recipe Tips
For the most authentic Chick-fil-A flavor, use a high-quality rotisserie chicken - the pre-seasoned meat adds depth that plain cooked chicken can't match. If you don't have a rotisserie chicken, poached chicken breast works well, but consider adding a teaspoon of poultry seasoning to compensate. The soup thickens considerably as it cools, so don't worry if it seems slightly thin when hot. For the best flavor development, make this soup a day ahead and reheat before serving.Use a food processor to puree the cannellini beans for a creamy texture.
