Notes

Make sure to slice the chicken and vegetables evenly for even cooking. You can customize the taco seasoning to your taste or use a store-bought mix for convenience. For added spice, consider adding jalapeños or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes. To make it even richer, add cream cheese to the mix before baking for a creamier texture. To store leftovers, let the dish cool and transfer it to an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator or freeze before baking.
