This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some leftover rotisserie chicken, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm a vegetarian, so I replaced the chicken with tofu. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce and veggies, and it was really satisfying.

I'm on a diet, so I made a few changes to the recipe. I used low-fat Monterey cheese and skipped the butter. It was still delicious, and I didn't feel guilty about eating it.
