3 whole chicken breasts, cooked and shredded by hand
2 tsp olive oil

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is a great way to use them up.

I love that this casserole can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to be able to just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

Overall, I thought this casserole was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The casserole was a little dry. I think I should have added more sauce.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of tortillas, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The sauce was flavorful and the chicken was cooked perfectly.
