Cheesy Baked Chicken! This is one of those recipe Cheesy Baked Chicken! This is one of those recipes that isn’t really a recipe… It’s so simple, I’ve had it in my blog’s drafts for two years… Because I see it as not worthy of a printable recipe! Ha!! But I still think you should make it. It’s the perfect weeknight, throw it all together and bake it up for a weeknight meal. Ready for the recipe?! CHEESY BAKED CHICKEN 4 Chicken Breasts 1 TBS Montreal Chicken Seasoning 1, 12-ounce container French Onion Dip 8 ounces Shredded Cheddar Cheese INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat the oven to 350˚. On the bottom of a greased baking dish, lay your chicken breasts down. Sprinkle the tablespoon of Montreal Chicken Seasoning over the chicken evenly. ((If you’re feeling fancy, flip the chicken over and season both sides. But, let’s not get out of hand.)) Slather the carton of French onion dip over the chicken. Top with the shredded cheese. Bake at 350˚ for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is 165˚ internally. I like to serve with rice and a salad for an easy evening! While you’re baking your chicken, you can make my Brown Butter Rice, since that cooks at 350˚ as well! So good together!
