"This is pretty simple, and has lots of room for enhancements and changes. I love it as is, but one could easily use broccoli, peas, other cheeses and so on. I'd personally like to try adding bacon crumbles, substituting green onions, and experimenting with a crunchier texture. Of course one can use regular chicken breasts cut into pieces, instead of the canned variety."

This was easy and cheesy... my two favs for a week night meal! I used grilled chicken and added some bread crumbs to the top and broiled it for a few minutes. The lightly crispy top went nicely with the warm, cheesy casserole. Thank you for the recipe!
