For a vegetarian option, substitute the rotisserie chicken with sauteed mushrooms or zucchini. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses in the filling, such as provolone or Fontina. To make ahead, assemble the casserole and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Add about 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
