  • Tips

    • Easy Substitution: You can substitute 3 cans (4.5 ounces each) Swanson® Premium Chunk White Chicken Breast, drained, for the cooked chicken.
    • You can substitute Pace® Medium Nacho Cheese Sauce for the Pace® Mild Nacho Cheese.
  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 375°F.  Spread 1/2 cup Pace® Picante Sauce in the bottom of a greased 3-quart shallow baking dish.
