Tips for the Best Casserole
- Use pre-cooked chicken to save time — rotisserie or leftover baked chicken works perfectly.
- Want more veggies? Add chopped broccoli, spinach, or mushrooms.
- For extra richness, add a splash of milk or cream before baking.
- Like it crunchy? Top with crushed Ritz crackers mixed with melted butter in the last 10 minutes.
Make It Ahead or Freeze It
This casserole is ideal for meal prepping:
- Make-ahead: Assemble, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
