Can I use fresh cooked chicken instead of rotisserie?
Yes. Boil or bake 3 lbs chicken breasts until cooked through, then shred. This gives you control over seasoning but takes extra time.
Is this recipe dairy-free or keto-friendly?
Not dairy-free (contains cottage cheese, mozzarella, eggs). For keto, skip or reduce the potatoes and increase low-carb vegetables.
Can I make this ahead?
Yes. Assemble completely, cover, and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Bake from cold; add 10–15 minutes to baking time.
How many servings does this yield?
Approximately 4–6 servings depending on portion size. Store portions in airtight containers for up to 4 days.
