This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken breasts in the fridge, and they worked perfectly in this dish. The sauce is easy to make and the whole thing comes together in about 30 minutes. Definitely a keeper!

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices to the sauce and it was much better. I would also recommend using a different type of cheese, such as cheddar or pepper jack.
