Notes
Leftover rotisserie chicken or slow cooked shredded chicken is perfect to repurpose in the casserole. It's also a great way to use up leftover cooked cauliflower rice.
Although homemade ranch dressing is preferred, a high quality store bought ranch dressing can be used that has no added sugar or other high carb ingredients.
