  3. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remember that you can always adjust the flavors later.
  4. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and spread it evenly. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, try substituting shredded chicken with chopped cauliflower or chickpeas. Make sure the chicken is thoroughly cooked and shredded before mixing it in. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
