Everyone loves this recipe! It is very fattening. But you can change the half and half to 1% milk and use a low fat cheddar for the top. If you change the half n half just make sure you add additional flour so it thickens.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken was moist and tender, and the cheese sauce was perfectly seasoned. I served it over rice and it was a complete meal.

This cheesy chicken recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was juicy and flavorful, and the cheese sauce was rich and creamy. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping. I will definitely be making this dish again.
