  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • 2 tablespoons butter for greasing.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F first.

  • Spread it out evenly with your spoon.
  • Sprinkle shredded cheese on top generously.
  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil tightly.
  • Place the dish in your preheated oven.
  • Bake covered for 60 minutes initially.
  • Remove the foil after one hour.
  • Bake uncovered for 15 more minutes.
  • The cheese should be bubbly and golden.
  • Let it rest for 10 minutes.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken to save time.
  • It adds great flavor too.
  • Don't skip the resting time after baking.
  • This helps the casserole set properly.
  • You can prep this dish ahead.
  • Just refrigerate it before baking.
  • Add extra cheese if you love it.
  • Fresh herbs like thyme work wonderfully.
  • Stir halfway through for even cooking.
  • Use homemade chicken broth when possible.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning before baking.
  • Add mushrooms for extra earthiness.
