Notes
- Dairy-Free: use dairy-free alternatives for the feta cheese, cotija cheese, and mozzarella cheese.
- Rice: feel free to make your own stove top rice or simply warm up some instant rice packets to add in the casserole.
- Chicken: highly recommend using a rotisserie chicken to keep it easy or make some stove top poached chicken to use.
- Storage: keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
