- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

- Put the shredded chicken in a large bowl, pour the dressing over it, and mix until every shred is coated.
- Heat the broiler and transfer the chicken mixture to an oven-safe baking dish, spreading it in an even layer.
- Scatter the mozzarella and cheddar over the top with the Italian seasoning and broil 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, watching closely so it does not burn.
