2 cups shredded chicken (rotisserie without skin/fat)

2. Serve with fresh grated parmesan on top to be extra! Great with crackers, on sourdough, or by itself!
I have probably made this 4 times over the last few weeks- delicious!!! I always add diced bell peppers and it adds nice crunch and color! A staple in my house from now on!
