- If you want to add some extra flavor to the casserole, try adding diced onions or different herbs like thyme or oregano.
- If the casserole is too dry after baking, add additional chicken broth to thin it out and make it creamy aga the dish a Mexican twist, try replacing the cream of chicken soup with enchilada sauce and adding some diced jalapenos or green chilies.
