Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes or until heated through, or reheat the entire dish in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed.
Variations:
- Substitute chicken with shredded beef or turkey for a different protein.
- Add additional veggies like spinach or zucchini for more nutrients.
- Use different cheese varieties such as mozzarella or gouda for a flavor twist.
- Make it spicy by adding diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the mix.
