Notes
- While I'm all for the convenience of using leftover chicken, you can boil and shred your own if you've got the time. The amound of chicken needed is about 1 1/2 pounds of boneless chicken breast or thighs.
- For easy of mixing, let the cream cheese soften to room temperature before mixing.
- You can also switch up the type of cheese you use if you aren't a mozzarella fan. Cheddar cheese or Colby Jack are delicious in this casserole.
