Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. This casserole can also be frozen for up to 2 months; just remember to thaw it in the fridge before reheating. Use different colored bell peppers for a vibrant dish and feel free to add other favorite vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms. Adjust the seasoning to your taste for a spicier or milder dish. You can make it vegetarian by skipping the chicken and adding more vegetables, or use shrimp or beef as alternatives.
