Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups cooked shredded chicken (use up leftovers)
  • 2 1/2 cups shredded mexican blend cheese, divided
  • 2 cups sour cream

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set out a 2 quart baking dish and a large mixing bowl.

  3. Pour the mixture into the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. 
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and bubbly around the edges. Sprinkle the top with chopped scallions or cilantro and serve with tortilla chips, or fresh chopped vegetables for a low carb option!
