This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped broccoli or cauliflower.

This recipe was a little bland for my taste, but I think that's because I didn't use enough cheese. I'll definitely try it again with more cheese next time.

I made a few substitutions based on what I had on hand, and it still turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of chicken, and added some chopped bell peppers and mushrooms.
