For a richer flavor, try using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs. Bake them and shred the chicken before using. Feel free to substitute other vegetables such as cauliflower or carrots. To add a crunchy topping, sprinkle the casserole with crushed crackers or toasted breadcrumbs during the last 15 minutes of baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
