This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using a lighter cheese, such as mozzarella, if you don't like your food too rich.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken turned out dry. I think next time I will cook the chicken for a shorter amount of time.
