CHICKEN POTATO AU GRATIN

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup romano cheese, grated
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup breadcrumbs

  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan.
  • Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If the sauce is too thin, it will run off the chicken and make the dish watery.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to make au gratin chicken bake. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find a recipe that you love.
