Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat individual portions in the microwave or larger portions in a covered baking dish in a 350°F oven until heated through.
  • Serve this hearty casserole with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor.
  • For a richer flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a little butter until softened before adding it to the chicken mixture.
