  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken that is cooked too long will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients to your casserole.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and seasonings. This is a great way to customize the flavor of your casserole to your liking.
