Can I use rotisserie chicken?

Yes. Rotisserie chicken saves time and boosts flavor. Shred it finely and stir in near the end to avoid overcooking. If you use dark meat, adjust the seasoning slightly. You can also use leftover chicken breast. The soup stays creamy and comforting.

Is it gluten-free friendly?

Yes, you can make it gluten-free. Choose gluten-free lasagna noodles or small pasta shapes. Check broth labels for gluten and avoid hidden thickeners. Use gluten-free Parmesan and mozzarella if needed. Cross-contamination matters; use clean utensils and pots. Always taste and adjust salt after adding GF pasta.

Can I make this in a slow cooker or Instant Pot?

Yes, you can adapt it to a slow cooker or Instant Pot. Brown aromatics first on the stove. Then add liquids and chicken to the slow cooker. Cook on low until pasta is tender. For Instant Pot, use the sauté function, then pressure cook briefly. Release pressure and stir in cheese off heat. Finish with spinach if using.
