Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes or place the entire casserole back in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
Variations:
- Substitute shredded rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Add chopped bell peppers or jalapeños for extra flavor.
- Use a different type of cheese like Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
- For a vegetarian version, replace chicken with cauliflower florets.
