SUBSTITUTIONS: You can use ground beef or ground pork instead of ground chicken.

The carrots can be substituted with another vegetable of your choice. I would choose something with a little crunch, like red bell pepper, but mushrooms would be delicious, as well.

FREEZE: You could make extra filling and freeze for later. If reheating on the stove, you will most likely need to add some additional liquid, or the filling may be dry.

STORE: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
