We make something almost exactly like this! It's a staple at our house - cheap and healthy! I've never added grated cheese however, so I might have to try it! Some tips: you can use frozen chicken breasts ($12 for 5lbs at Costco), just throw them in and they cook up fine. We shred our chicken (with two forks) about 1/2 hour before serving and you can toss in a block of cream cheese at that time. Stir and we've served it over rice or in tortillas.
