Laughing at your story!! That’s terrible. This post is perfect timing, my sister is having a baby at the first of the year and I plan to take her a few meals. Cheesy Chicken will be on my list! Also looking forward to what others say…thanks!

I always take the dessert… Or once in a while, chicken pot pie.

I love the story. I have one similar to that only involving a crock pot! However, I always like to take my chicken parm with pasta. Always a hit.

To use one of my kids’ quotes: “Boy, that sure sucks!” Plan B (fried chicken) was probably still appreciated but yes, that would have bugged me, too! What a waste, huh? Grrrrrr.
Can you use low fat cheese in this recipe, by the way?

Leigh Anne says
Cat, I think low fat cheese would work fine! Enjoy!
Meg says
This looks really yummy! I can’t wait to try it. Question for you.. is the Parmesan Cheese part of the Sauce, or the cheese you top it with after it cooks?
Thanks!
Leigh Anne says
Meg,
The Parmesan cheese is mixed into the sauce and the Monterey Jack is sprinkled on top at the end. Enjoy!
