Notes

For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with lentils or tofu, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Feel free to add more vegetables like peas, bell peppers, or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.

If you prefer a spicier casserole, add diced jalapeños, green chilies, or red pepper flakes to the mix.
