Variations & Tips
For a bit of spice, add some diced jalapeños to the chicken mixture. If you're a fan of herbs, try incorporating some fresh chopped parsley or dill for an added layer of flavor.
Additionally, you can switch out the cheddar cheese for mozzarella or pepper jack to suit your taste preferences. For a more indulgent option, serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
