Variations & Tips
If you want to change things up, you could add a handful of chopped vegetables like broccoli, peas, or carrots to the chicken mixture for added color and nutrition. For those who enjoy a bit of kick, a teaspoon of crushed red pepper or a dash of hot sauce stirred into the creamy mixture can add some heat. Substituting the cheddar cheese with a blend of cheeses such as mozzarella and parmesan will result in a different yet delicious flavor profile. And for a more rustic twist, some folks like to use leftover Thanksgiving turkey instead of chicken – it’s a great way to use up those holiday leftovers!
