For best results

  • For extra protein, use cottage cheese instead of Greek yogurt.

  • If you prefer a crispy top, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking.

Variations

  • Try a white chicken enchilada version: use sour cream and green chiles.
  • Use ground turkey instead of shredded chicken for a different texture.
