For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the chicken mixture. Feel free to substitute other cheeses like Gruyere or Swiss for the Gouda, depending on your preference. If you don't have leftover cooked chicken, you can quickly poach or pan-fry chicken breasts and then shred them for this recipe.
