Recipe Tips

If you're short on time, you can use leftover cooked chicken instead of cooking it from scratch. You can also use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store to save time. If you want to make this casserole even heartier, you can add some frozen peas or green beans to the skillet before baking. This casserole also freezes well, so you can make a double batch and freeze one for later. Just be sure to thaw it in the fridge overnight before reheating it in the oven.
