Notes

Recipe Tips.

  • To cut back on calories, use light/low-fat dairy products.
  • Bake uncovered. If the creamy sauce and cheese on top begin to brown too much before the chicken is cooked, tent a piece of tin foil over the top for the remainder of the time.
  • To help the chicken cook evenly, use a kitchen mallet to pound the thicker parts of the breast so it is an even thickness throughout.
  • Avoid rubbery chicken by not overcooking. This can be exacerbated by uneven cooking or using lower-quality chicken that may be affected by conditions like “woody breast.”

Prep ahead. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, and again with aluminum foil. Store in the fridge for 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. If frozen, thaw in the fridge overnight. Let the dish sit on the counter for 30 minutes before baking uncovered.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheat. Use the oven to reheat several pieces; preheat it to 350°F (175°C), cover the dish with foil to trap moisture, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is hot. For individual servings, reheat in the microwave.
