Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken as a quick shortcut for cooked chicken.
- For extra flavor, add chopped onions or fresh herbs such as thyme or parsley.
- If you prefer a lower-fat version, substitute cream of mushroom soup with a light or homemade version and use reduced-fat cheese.
- Serve with a side of rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated within 2 days for convenience.
