Notes

    • Rotisserie Chicken: You can use cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken instead of raw chicken by baking the casserole for 35 to 40 minutes at 350°F.
    • Storing: Allow the food to cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
