Tips
- 💡For extra flavor and convenience, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. It's already cooked and seasoned!
- 💡Feel free to add some frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn) to the mixture for added nutrition and color. Stir them in during Step 2.
- 💡If you prefer a crispier topping, you can add a little extra chow mein noodles or crushed potato chips on top along with the cheese for the last 15 minutes of baking.
