For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding sautéed mushrooms to the onion and garlic mixture. To prevent the casserole from drying out, cover it with foil during the first 10 minutes of baking. Remove the foil for the last few minutes to brown the cheese. Feel free to substitute the rotisserie chicken with leftover cooked chicken or turkey. For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with sauteed vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and mushrooms.
