🥬 Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

  • Chicken → Use rotisserie chicken for convenience, or ground chicken for a smoother mix.
  • Mozzarella → Fresh or low-moisture both work; low-moisture melts thicker.
  • Parmesan → Can swap with pecorino romano for a sharper flavor.
  • Cream Cheese → Greek yogurt can be subbed for lighter texture.
  • Seasoning → Try Cajun spice, taco seasoning, or smoked paprika for a twist.

🍽️ Variations & Serving Ideas

  • Buffalo Style → Add 2 tbsp buffalo sauce to the mix.
  • Pizza Style → Add chopped pepperoni and dip in marinara.
  • Herb & Spinach → Mix in ½ cup chopped spinach or kale for extra greens.
  • Party Platter → Serve with ranch, marinara, or garlic aioli.

Pair with a light salad or roasted veggies for a complete meal.
