Tips:

  • Use a meat thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that your chicken is cooked to perfection. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast, and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken breasts so that they can cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: You can use any type of cheese that you like in this recipe. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: This dish goes well with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
