This strata is a great make-ahead dish. I like to make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week for breakfast or lunch.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but I really enjoyed this strata. The bread and cheese were so flavorful, and the chicken was cooked perfectly.

This strata is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a very versatile dish that can be easily customized to your liking. I added some diced bell peppers and onions to mine, and it turned out great.
