Notes
- Time Saving Tips: Use a rotisserie chicken for quick shredded chicken without extra cooking time. Make sure to remove all bones before shredding.
- You can also prepare the chicken by cooking chicken breasts in a slow cooker ahead of time. This method delivers tender chicken perfect for shredding and mixing in this casserole.
