For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken mixture. Substitute the Cheddar cheese with Gruyere or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile. Add a can of cream of mushroom soup for a creamier texture. Feel free to add other vegetables such as chopped bell peppers or peas. For a make-ahead option, assemble the casserole and refrigerate it until ready to bake. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
