- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
