Directions
Warm your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sprinkle the top with shredded Cheddar cheese, then add a generous layer of French fried onions. Pop it in the oven and bake for around 30 minutes, or until the dish is warmed through and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before digging in!

Reheating And Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to preserve the flavors. Avoid freezing, as the texture of the chicken may change.
