Tip

Shred and Freeze Cheese

It’s usually cheaper to buy cheese in blocks than in shredded form. So I purchase large quantities of cheddar, Monterey Jack and mozzarella, then shred them myself in my food processor. I store the shredded cheese in the freezer in heavy-duty resealable plastic bags, so I have it at my fingertips whenever it’s needed. —Evelyn O., Parma, Ohio

Thought this was a really simple, but delicious, recipe to change up weeknight chicken.

I made this for my daughter who normally doesn't eat chicken & she ate every bite!

My whole family loves this chicken! I make a ranch pasta salad as a side that goes with it perfectly.

YUM! I made this the other night! I pulled out the leftovers and snacked on them while I made dinner last night. I just couldn't get enough. I used the medium wing sauce since I'm not a spicy person & I also used panko bread crumbs (Japanese bread crumbs that have WAY more substance than traditional bread crumbs). The panko bread crumbs made the chicken nice & crunchy. I'll scale back the cheese next time-too much for me & I'll probably try adding some crumbled blue cheese on top for a more traditional take on the whole buffalo style chicken. SOOO glad I tried this one!!

Yummy. I use barbeque sauce and don't cook the chicken quite so long.

My husband and I LOVE this. Very quick to throw together and it tastes great.

This chicken is amazing! I wouldn't change a thing. Served it with cooked carrots and a potato with butter and sour cream. The chicken is slightly spicy but the cheese on the chicken and the sour cream on my potato toned it down a little. My family ate it and said I could make it again. I definitely will because it was quick, easy, and delicious! Leftovers warmed up good too. This recipe is a keeper!

This recipe was fabulous! I made it with the cucumber salad from the magazine. It will definitely be made again!
