we do ours with ground turkey!
I have done ground turkey too, you have to try the chicken 🙂 it was really good!
Has anyone ever tried it with the shredded can chicken? I used the cans for my buffalo dip and wanted to see if it will also taste good with this.
I haven’t used canned, but if you like it in your dip – I am thinking it would also be good in this one! Let me know if you try it!
Do you freeze this before cooking?
Hi Jillian! No, I haven’t made this one a freezer meal. I do prep the chicken ahead of time for easy assembly 🙂
