  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Salt to taste

🍳 METHODS — Why This Turns Out Perfect Every Time

1. Double Cheese Base

Mozzarella = stretch
Parmesan = flavor

2. Cream Reduction

Simmering thickens the sauce naturally, no flour needed.

3. Chicken Absorbs Flavor

The sauce clings to every piece, making each bite rich and buttery.

4. Oven Browning

The top layer caramelizes and creates that irresistible cheesy crust.

📜 HISTORY OF THIS STYLE OF DISH

Over time, this dish became a classic family casserole — guaranteed to satisfy both picky eaters and comfort-food lovers.
