- Chopped parsley for garnish
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese not powdered
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve the cheesy chicken over rice and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
Notes
For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in your favorite spices for a few hours before cooking. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
