Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works well for extra flavor and convenience.
- Cream of mushroom soup can be used instead of cream of chicken soup for a different flavor.
- Add about 1 cup of shredded cheese on top or into the filling for a richer casserole.
- You can assemble the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it until ready to bake.
- Freeze before or after baking for up to 2 months.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat covered in the oven at 160°C (320°F) or microwave individual portions with a splash of milk to keep it creamy.
- Avoid overbaking to prevent the casserole from drying out.
