Notes

You can either make your own shredded chicken breasts or use a Rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken off the bones.

This is a great easy chicken recipe and you can easily add 2 cups of cooked rice into the casserole at the bottom under the shredded chicken. You can also add frozen veggies or fresh broccoli into the casserole before baking to make it a complete meal.

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
