Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses: This recipe calls for a combination of cheddar, Monterey Jack, and Parmesan cheeses. Feel free to experiment with other types of cheeses that you like, such as Colby, Swiss, or Gouda.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes per side.
- Use a creamy soup: Cream of chicken soup is the traditional choice for this casserole, but you can also use cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup. If you want a lighter casserole, you can use a reduced-fat or low-sodium soup.
- Add vegetables: Vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, and peas can be added to this casserole for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Top with crispy tortilla strips: Tortilla strips add a delicious crunch to this casserole. You can either buy them pre-made or make your own by cutting tortillas into strips and baking them in the oven.
