Notes

Made with Frozen Chicken

If you use frozen breasts they need to be small/medium sized and separated from one another before adding. You won't be able to bread so skip that step. cook as directed until they are fork tender. Then you can sprinkle with the seasoned breadcrumbs on top and melt the cheese on top of that.
