I've been in stores this week where either shelves are empty of cleaning supplies, or purchases are limited. I see carts filled with supplies like a Nor-Easter, had a bastard child with a Polar Vortex and was going to deliver a blizzard from the last ice age..
PANIC, SIMPLE OUT RIGHT PANIC.
My thoughts are take some SIMPLE precautions, eat well, eat healthy, eat things that will support your immune system.
I'll shred the chicken into the broth, maybe pass with a side of cilantro for that herby taste.
For a more filling meal, use this to cook ramen, add a tipple of soy sauce, a drop or two of toasted sesame oil, maybe some sambol..
