Chef's Tips

For added flavor, use leftover roasted chicken or rotisserie chicken.

Experiment with different types of vegetables, like broccoli or bell peppers.

🔧 Troubleshooting Tips

If the casserole is too dry, add a splash of chicken broth before baking.
If it’s too watery, increase the role of starch by adding more rice or flour.

🔄 Recipe Variations

Add a layer of sliced mushrooms for extra umami flavor.
Incorporate a can of diced tomatoes for a tangy twist.

🥗 Healthy Alternatives

Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version.
Substitute brown rice for white rice for more fiber.
