RECIPE NOTES:

• Chicken can be fresh or leftover shredded chicken. This recipe also works well with neutrally seasoned rotisserie chicken.
• Leftovers can be saved in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
• Nutrition facts provided based on my best estimation for the recipe and may not be accurate depending on what brands you use or modifications you make to the recipe.  I recommend using a nutrition calculator with the exact brands and measurements you use for the most accurate calculation.
