Note

For best results, ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness so they cook uniformly. If using a broiler, keep an eye on the chicken to prevent the cheese from burning. You can substitute Miracle Whip Free for the nonfat dressing if preferred. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
