How to make Healthy Taco Bake with Shredded Chicken?
- First, make shredded chicken by following THIS recipe.
- Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl except for the olive oil and cheese. Mix with a large spoon until combined.

- First, bake at 350 degrees uncovered for 25 minutes. Second, place foil over the top and bake for another 10 minutes at 350 degrees. Lastly, increase the heat to 400 degrees and bake for 5-10 minutes until slightly browned, but not dry.
