Notes

This dish can be served with fresh, steamed vegetables, roasted potatoes or wedge potato fries. As the chicken is cooking, you will notice a build up of liquid at the bottom of the baking dish.

This can be carefully drained every so often. The liquid does not hurt the chicken, it is just the juices coming from the chicken pieces.

You could also wait until just before you place it under the broiler to give the cheese a slight brown color, to drain the liquid.

The longer that the liquid is left in the pan, the more it will help steam the chicken.
