Chef's Tips

For the best texture, avoid overcrowding the baking dish so the sauce can thicken properly. You can swap fresh garlic for 1 tsp garlic powder if needed, and leftover chicken and sauce will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Add the cheddar only at the end so it melts without making the sauce greasy.
