Notes

Sub in pepper jack cheese if you want a spicier kick.

If you don't have Rotel, use a can of diced tomatoes and a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.

Sub in taco-seasoned ground turkey or beef, which bings even bolder flavors than the chicken.

Add chopped celery or diced broccoli after softening them slightly, if you want to add more vegetables..

Stretch the filling by mixing in cooked rice or cooked pasta.

Use Greek yogurt in place of sour cream and reduced-fat cheese for a lighter sauce.
