Notes
- To help chicken cook more quickly and evenly, try using chicken breasts that are not too thick. Pound or slice them to reduce the thickness if needed.
- Substitutions: Yellow corn can be used instead of white corn; you can also use a different variety of cheese.
- How to Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
- How to Freeze: Freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
- How to Reheat: Reheat in the microwave until warmed through or covered in a 350ºF oven.
- How to Scale: To scale up, use a larger baking dish or make the recipe in two baking dishes. Scale down by using a smaller baking dish.
