Expert Tips

For a change of pace and a little stronger cheese flavor, look for shredded Asiago cheese in containers near the other cheeses.

The chicken breasts will be super easy to cut if they are partially frozen.

We definitely like this recipe in my house. Sometimes I substitute chicken sausage for the chicken breast, it gives a little more flavor (and calories) and makes it an extra special treat!

We made this dish exactly like the recipe. Then we tasted it and added italian spice,sweet basil, garlic granules, salt & pepper. My family loved it and will make it many times in the future.
