Notes

For best results, ensure your chicken pieces are evenly sized for consistent cooking, and don't hesitate to adjust the seasoning to taste. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated, though it's best served fresh to enjoy the perfect cheese melt. Adding a splash of cream or a handful of spinach can enhance the flavor and nutritional value.
