Keeping It Fresh

Serve it nice and hot with a salad or some garlic bread on the side. Leftovers keep great in the fridge for a few days or freeze them for later. Just cover with foil when reheating to keep all that cheesy goodness.

Mix It Up

Feel free to spice things up with extra hot sauce or throw in some provolone for more cheese pull. No chicken? Try it with mushrooms and peppers instead. There are even dairy-free options that work great if you need them.

My Best Tips

Don't overcook those noodles they'll keep cooking in the oven. I like to thin out my ranch drizzle with a little milk to make it prettier. And always let it rest before cutting it makes such neater slices.
