Tips
Before you get started on this recipe, check out our tips and tricks to a successful casserole dish!
- Use packed certified gluten-free diced chicken, shredded rotisserie chicken, boiled chicken thighs or boiled chicken breasts depending on what is easiest for you. When in a pinch, rotisserie chicken is our go-to but boiling chicken then dicing is our preferred choice for this dish.
- Shredding Chicken With Kitchenaid Mixer is a quick and easy way to shred chicken if needed
Substitutions
- Opt for the gluten-free Italian breadcrumbs or crumble gluten-free crackers or cornflakes on top instead.
- Swap the Greek yogurt with sour cream.
- While we have not tried, the dairy ingredients can be substituted with dairy free alternatives if needed.
- Double the recipe if feeding a crowd by increasing the cooking time by 10-15 minutes or splitting the recipe between two 9 x13 pans. When making this recipe, we will make a double batch with one batch served immediately and the one frozen for later.
