Notes
For best results, use pre-cooked chicken to save time. You can substitute the cheeses with your favorite blends. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave. To add more flavor, sauté onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms and add them to the filling. For a spicy kick, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
