  2. Add the remaining chicken mixture and top with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with olive oil or melted butter. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheese layer to create a crispy topping.

Notes

Ingredient substitutions: You can swap cooked chicken for turkey or even a vegetarian protein for a Halal-friendly version. Spinach can be used in place of broccoli for a different flavor profile. Avoid overcooking by checking the casserole around 25 minutes. Don’t skimp on seasoning for enhanced flavor.
