Tips and Shortcuts
Pre-cooked Chicken: Save time by using pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken. Simply shred it and add it to the vegetable mixture.
Vegetable Variations: Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or corn to the casserole for added texture and flavor.
Spice Level: Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder and crushed red pepper flakes.
Recipe Swaps and Variations
Vegetarian Option: Substitute the chicken with black beans or chickpeas for a vegetarian-friendly version.
Low-Carb Version: Replace the rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
Cheese Alternatives: Use your favorite cheese blends, such as pepper jack or a Mexican cheese blend, for different flavor profiles.
Storing Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place the desired portion in a microwave-safe dish and microwave until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat the casserole in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15 minutes.
