Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat individual portions in the microwave, adding a splash of milk if needed to restore creaminess.
  • Serve with a side of steamed green beans or a crisp garden salad to balance the richness of the casserole.
  • For extra flavor, sauté a diced onion and minced garlic before adding them to the chicken mixture.
