Can I use canned chicken?

Yes. The texture of canned chicken is a little different, but the recipe will still turn out delicious! One 12.5oz can of chicken is usually about 1.5 cups of chicken, so use 2-3 cans total.

How should I store the leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

How can I make this dairy-free?

Replace the Greek yogurt with additional mayo and omit the cheese.
