Tips & Variations

Use rotisserie chicken to shorten cooking time if you’re in a hurry.
Frozen spinach can be used; just thaw and squeeze out excess liquid before adding.
Adjust seasoning to taste, adding garlic powder or Italian herbs for added flavor.
For extra richness, try adding a little grated Parmesan cheese along with the mozzarella.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through or microwave individual portions until hot. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain the best texture and flavor.

FAQs

Do I need to precook the chicken before baking?

No, the thinly sliced chicken breasts are baked directly in the casserole dish with the sauce, which keeps them moist and tender as they cook through in the oven.

Can I use other types of cheese?

Yes, you can substitute mozzarella with provolone, Monterey Jack, or a blend of cheeses to suit your preference. Just choose a cheese that melts well for the best results.
