I love spicy food, so I added a few jalapeƱos to this casserole. It gave it a nice kick of heat. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or paprika, to taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. I used rotisserie chicken and microwaved rice, and the casserole still turned out great. I also added a can of diced tomatoes for extra flavor. This is a budget-friendly and easy recipe
