Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.

  3. Add cooked chicken, rice or pasta, half the cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, and optional veggies. Mix to combine.

Notes

For a shortcut, use rotisserie chicken and microwave rice packs. To make it low-carb, substitute cooked cauliflower rice. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months.
