Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of flavor, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or smoked paprika on the chicken before baking.
- If you prefer a milder cheese, you can substitute cheddar with mozzarella or Swiss cheese.
- Make sure to let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
