3. Transfer the cheesy chicken mixture into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread it evenly to cover the bottom of the dish.

Notes
For a healthier alternative, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream. For a spicy kick, use pepper jack cheese instead of Monterey Jack. Adding diced vegetables like bell peppers or spinach can boost nutritional content without compromising flavor.
