Recipe View 30 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is bubbling hot, the chicken is heated through, and the cheese topping is melted and lightly browned, about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)

For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and pepperoni and add more vegetables such as zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach.
Feel free to customize the sauce with a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat, or a splash of cream for extra richness.
If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a 9x13 inch baking dish will work perfectly.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
