🧊 Storage and Reheating Tips
Storing Leftovers:

Store chicken and sauce separately in airtight containers.
Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Reheating:

Reheat chicken in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to keep it crispy.

💬 FAQs
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! Bake the chicken and store it in the fridge. Make the sauce fresh when ready to serve for best results.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?
Yes! It’s mild, cheesy, and creamy—ideal for picky eaters. You can even slice the chicken into strips before baking for homemade chicken tenders.

How do I make the crust extra crispy?
Use a wire rack on your baking sheet to elevate the chicken. This allows heat to circulate and gives a crispier finish.

Can I pan-fry the chicken instead of baking?
Definitely. Just add a bit of oil to a non-stick skillet and fry on medium heat for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
