My Expert Tips
- Use Freshly Shredded Chicken: The rotisserie chicken adds great flavor and makes this recipe extra easy. However, if you end up using homemade chicken, season it well before adding.
- Make It Extra Cheesy: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or Parmesan cheese over the stuffing for a cheesy crust.
- Customize the Veggies: Swap the peas and corn for green beans, carrots, or mushrooms to suit your taste.
- Let It Rest Before Serving: Allowing the casserole to sit for 5-10 minutes after baking helps it set and makes serving easier.
- Double the Recipe for Leftovers: This dish freezes and reheats beautifully, so make extra for easy meals throughout the week!
