Christina's Notes
- This Recipe Can be Doubled: Increase the ingredients proportionately and split it into two baking dishes before baking.
- Make with ground beef: Use a different protein in place of the chicken mixture.
- Use a rotisserie chicken: In place of a chicken breast, you can use a rotisserie chicken.
- Add Vegetables: Try veggies such as black beans or white corn to the green chile and chicken mixture for this easy recipe.
- Different shredded cheese in this recipe: You can use Monterey jack cheese, feta cheese or any other variety of Mexican cheese for Mexican food.
